Camera d'Oro, Fresco cycle in Torrechiara Castle, Italy

The Camera d'Oro features intricate ceiling frescoes depicting the love story between Count Pier Maria Rossi and Bianca Pellegrini across its walls and vaults.

Created by artist Benedetto Bembo in 1462, the Camera d'Oro stands as a testament to the architectural achievements of the Rossi family during the Italian Renaissance period.

The frescoes combine elements of medieval chivalry with religious symbolism, representing the journey of two lovers through castles and landscapes of the Parma region.

Visitors can access the Camera d'Oro through guided tours of Torrechiara Castle, which offers multiple daily viewings of this remarkable room and its decorations.

The initials of Pier Maria and Bianca appear throughout the frescoes, connected by a continuous ribbon bearing the Latin inscription 'Nunc et Semper'.
