ITALIAN ART:
Palazzo D’Arco, Mantua
By Enrico De Iulis
During the Italian Renaissance it wasn't uncommon to decorate rooms,
halls or courtrooms with
an astrological subject.

The works of the "Palazzo
della Ragione" in Padua
survived to this day. This
calendar and astrological
decoration even "helped"
in the interpretation and
understanding of legal cases according to the sign
of the zodiac of the person indicted.
