The nineteen white porcelain statues are all of very fine workmanship: nine come from the Antonibon manufactory (Nove), nine from the Cozzi manufactory in Venice and one from the Porcellana d’Este manufactory.
The subjects (peasant youths, shepherds, gardeners, harvesting putti, strolling musicians) repeat the bucolic theme of Arcadia, dear to the Rococo taste in the mid-eighteenth century.
Other figures represent classic, allegorical and mythological subjects, like the two virtues (Charity and Strength) and Diana.
