Castle

Room of the Nymphs – Painted Rooms The Stanza delle Ninfe, part of the Painted Rooms of the Caetani Castle, exemplifies the late-15th-century taste for classical mythology. Its walls are decorated with frescoes depicting female figures in natural landscapes, with nymphs dancing among woodlands and streams. The colours, though softened by time, still reveal the delicacy of the original palette: greens and blues for nature, pinks and ochres for the figures, creating a refined chromatic harmony. The poses and drapery reflect the hand of artists influenced by the novelties of the 15th century, celebrating both the natural beauty of the surrounding territory and the leisurely pursuits of courtly life. This room was not merely decorative: it conveyed a message of culture and prestige, evoking the pastimes of the Caetani court and the beauty of the lands they ruled.
