Governo Room
Created for Ercole II d’Este (1534-1559) to deal with the business of government, it still displays its
splendid original ceiling with painted and gilded lacunars (recessed panels), one of the most beautiful
in this style in the whole of Italy. In the centre, in the large oval, is represented the Myth of Pan. Other
Mythical forms are found in the other panels: the whole should be read as a celebration of the Prince
and his good government.
