The pictures depict the lands and seas known in the 16th century, during the time of Cosimo I dei Medici, first Duke and then Grand Duke, with the intention of exalting the power of the Florentine household but also the close link between painting and science. The panels are embellished with gilded inscriptions, cartouches fantastic creatures and Medici insignia, which emerged during the restoration along with the original color scheme. In the center of the room is a large 16th-century globe, with a circumference of more than two meters, which will undergo on-site restoration.
