Palazzo Ducale di Sabbioneta

It was the duke's residence, and is two-storey with a raised portico and central turret, and a portico on the ground floor; marble-framed windows and corbels mark the façade. The interior consists of a series of halls and rooms frescoed and decorated by various artists. The wooden ceilings are splendid; the twenty-one Gonzaga portraits in stucco by Alberto Cavalli and the four wooden statues of characters on horseback (Vespasiano Gonzaga and three of his ascendants) stand out in the Galleria degli Antenati.
