Description:
|
|
Away from the main villa, in the gardens of Villa Medici, is the separate pavilion (studiolo) of Cardinal Ferdinand de Medici, a masterpiece of Late Mannerism, decorated by Jacopo Zucchi (1576-1577). There are two rooms; this one, the Stanza degli Uccelli (Room of the birds) has frescoes depicting an aviary or pergola and several fables from Aesop. Ferdinand was keen on science and botany (he cultivated rare specimens in his garden); this room features animals and birds from North America as well as Europe. The frescoes had been hidden under whitewash and were only rediscovered by Géraldine Albers in 1985. They were restored in 2011. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
