The ceiling of this room, painted in the early 1660s by Camillo Mantovano, is covered with a spectacular decoration that celebrates nature.
The room displays precious boxes used to host collections of gems, coins and cameos, of which the Grimani were passionate collectors.
The marble and lapizlazuli inlaid table top can be seen on the next photo page.
