- Cover photo description:
- sala da biblioteca, The library is the main room in one of the two apartments that Paul III had built in the 1540s; to be exact, the castellan's apartment, or governor of the Castel Sant'Angelo, which also included the two adjoining rooms, the Sala dell'Adrianeo and the Sala dei Festoni. This room provided access to the papal archives and this is why it became known as the Library in the eighteenth century. The vault, designed in 1545 by Luzio Luzi, a student of Perin del Vaga, depicts stories of ancient Rome with the emblems (the lily and the lady with the unicorn) of the pope's family, the Farnese, in the centre. Luzi was inspired by Roman art from imperial times following in the footsteps of Raphael and his direct students; he was particularly influenced by Nero's Golden Palace which was recently unearthed. The large fireplace is dominated by two imposing allegorical figures from the Church and Rome positioned either side of Paul III's coat of arms.
