Italian Art

Now off to one of the biggest palaces in Macerata. Most buildings here actually are renovated palaces. This one is currently under restoration to become a museum but we got the inside scoop.

Zeus chilling out in the middle of the ballroom ceiling:

All the rooms have different themes, this particular one was the trials of Hercules.

Look Renaissance cartoons!Roman dude out on the balcony overlooking the courtyard.

This one isn't from the palace, it is from one of the local theaters. We were totally talking about how one of these days we want to get a group together and buy out one of the like 100 balconies. Even if we won't be able to understand a word of it, how awesome would an opera be under this ceiling? Pretty much the entire room looks like this.
