This is part of the inscrption running along the frieze of the Room of Esther. It is a dedication to the Duchess Eleonora, who was to use the room, particularly lively thanks to the presence of the little puttoes that play with the letters: LEONORA / A TOLLEDO / FLORENTIA / SENA DUC II (Eleonora di Toledo, second Duchess of Florence and Siena) Photo: Simone Lampredi
