Little Ferdinando Orsini (Nando), portrayed together with his brothers in Tiberio Titi's painting, will accompany children on a lively exploration of Palazzo Venezia, making the spaces and works of art on display in the museum more familiar.
It will be his maquette that will introduce the young visitors to the Barbo Apartment and the Monumental Salons, urging them through riddles and observation games to learn about the intended use of the rooms, “the master of the house,” Pope Paul II, his collecting passion including that for parrots, and the many parties organized inside and outside his palace.
The tale in the form of a fairy tale of the history of Palazzo Venezia will continue in the museum, where Nando will engage putti and children portrayed in the paintings of the picture gallery, to draw visitors' attention to those details best known to the world of childhood and facilitate learning about the contents of the works.
Later in the workshop each child will be able to draw and color the rampant lion of the Barbo coat of arms.
