The Room of the Fine Arts
Sala delle Belle Arte
During the Medici period this room served as the "Gentlemen's Waiting Room" in the grand duchess's apartment.
At the beginning of the 19th century, this wing of the palace was extensively modified and redecorated by a group of modern Neoclassical painters. The ceiling was painted in 1817 by Domenico Podestà and represents Jove sending Iris, Minerva, and the Arts to earth.
