Description:
|
|
The room owes its name to the masks of the personified winds in the lower part of the vault and is dedicated to the theme of astrology. The motif of the influence the stars have on man’s destiny, is reflected in the inscription from the Latin poet Juvenal on the door of the south wall: DISTAT ENIM QVAE SYDERA TE EXCIPIANT ("It depends in fact which stars welcome you [when you are born]"). The hexagons of the vault depict the Olympian gods and the roundels below illustrate the constellations. Interspersed are squares or rectangles of stucco painted to look like bronze with the symbols of the zodiac. (Source: Palazzo Te [website]; http://www.palazzote .it)
