Camera di San Paolo, Renaissance fresco chamber in San Paolo, Italy
The 697 by 645 centimeter chamber contains frescoes depicting Diana, hunting themes, and mythological figures painted on the walls and ceiling.
In 1518, Abbess Giovanna da Piacenza commissioned Antonio da Correggio to decorate this private room within the prosperous Benedictine monastery of Saint Paul.
The ceiling features sixteen oval openings where painted children carry hunting equipment, while the walls display monochromatic images of Olympic deities.
The museum opens six days per week and provides free admission on the first Sunday of each month.
The fireplace bears a Latin inscription stating 'Ignem Gladio Ne Fodias', reflecting the abbess's assertion of independence from ecclesiastical authority.
