Room Poussin - CORSO GRAND SUITES BED AND BREAKFAST BARLETTA BT PUGLIA ITALIA

Discovering the magical "Room Poussin" of Palazzo Rizzitelli, a historical treasure wrapped in the enchantment of the Apulian Neoclassical period.

The paintings that adorn this precious room seem to come from different artists and tell stories from different periods, estimated between 1750 and the first quarter of the 1800s. In the center of the ceiling, a splendid painting inspired by the work of Nicolas Poussin, entitled "The dance of Music over time", reveals the ancient vocation of this room, dedicated to the musical art. Along each of the four sides of the ceiling, four fascinating chimeras emerge, fascinating and mythical figures from classical mythology.

The large pediments in neoclassical style, positioned in the heart of each wall, are works of extraordinary beauty.

At the center of each pediment, monochrome medallions capture the grace of the putti, one holds up a score, others play rare musical instruments such as the lyre, the syrinx, the cymbal, the sistrum and the serpent. The elegant golden frame embraces the ceiling with refinement, enriching the vision of four valuable oil paintings on plaster. On the north side, Venus is spied on by a Satyr, while on the east side, the goddess is depicted with Vulcan. On the south wall, Venus and Adonis dance in the immortality of art, and on the west side, the goddess appears together with Mars, extolling the beauty of love and passion.

Experience the thrill of a journey through history and art, immersing yourself in this architectural splendour. The Sala della Musica of Palazzo Rizzitelli is an excellent fusion of refinement and meaning, where the notes of music and the stories of mythology come together in a symphony of timeless beauty. Welcome to this masterpiece, where art comes to life and the soul lets itself be carried away in an unforgettable spell.
