Inside the mansion, in addition to the various furnishings mentioned above, residents will also experience a strong artistic atmosphere, including 17th-century frescoes by the famous Baroque era painters Recchi Brothers and Agostino Silva. Originating from the time when the mansion was the residence of Cardinal Durini, a cardinal bishop in the 18th century, his love for art collections allowed him to build a collection area and a church within the mansion’s grounds during his stay, in order to collect art pieces and meet with various Italian intellectuals.
Moreover, it can be affirmed that the mansion is filled with a large number of antique furniture purchased from top auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s, ranging from crystal chandeliers, marble bathrooms, to top-grade velvet furniture in natural gemstone hues.
