It consists of two floors adorned with magnificent wooden works and stunning ceilings decorated with stuccos and canvases. The ground floor houses the Cappella, a picturesque space with monochrome paintings and a precious altar. This is where the seminar and workshop will take place.
A magnificent golden double baroque stairway leads to the Sala Capitolare, where the ceiling is adorned with artworks by Tiepolo. The Archivio and Albergo rooms evoke the seventeenth century with their decorated ceilings, painted walls, and marvelous inlaid marble floors. Some of the gatherings related to the initiative will take place in these rooms.
