Blessed Osanna Andreasi's House, Mascheroni Hall

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

This small room on the ground floor, next to the Sala delle Stagioni, displays some remarkable decorative frescoes dating to the second half of the 15th century, so to the same years our Blessed lived. A series of columns, which imitate antique columns, with a curious enlargement at the bottom, seems to be supporting a series of slender festoons, under a frieze characterized by a dark background and a motif showing moustachioed masks, which alternate with amphorae surrounded by small eagles. The Corinthian capitals are golden, while the columns are fake black marble. On the whole the decoration constitutes a small pavilion.
