Palazzo Venezia, the historic residence of Popes and ambassadors, is also a precious artistic and architectural record of the Renaissance. Visits explore the decorations and frescoes in the sumptuous Sala del Mappamondo, the monumental Sala Regia and Giorgio Vasari’s stunning ceiling in the Sala Altoviti, illustrating a universe of knowledge, materials and techniques applied by the workshops of the Renaissance artists. After directly observing decorative forms and ornamental details, in the workshop the students will experiment with trompe l’oeil and spolvero techniques plus the working of stucco with plaster.
