Blessed Osanna Andreasi's House

1475

The small room on the mezzanine floor appears to be a small studio, a place for meditation and reflection. It is perhaps one of the most suggestive rooms in the House. The decoration was started in the second half of the 14th century and finished a few decades later. The prevailing material is wood, starting from the sophisticated doors, painted with floral motifs. From a pictorial point of view what most stands out are the decorations on the strip just below the low ceiling: parrots, monkeys, fantastic creatures adorning the strip, guard the amphorae, symbol of fertility and life. A very old motif, originally from the Middle East, can be seen on the beams of the ceiling: lions with couples of amphorae, this time stylized, further enliven the visual experience of the room.
