18. Big Hall

Usually, big hall was used as a big reception hall rather than a ballroom. In its eastern part divided into two storeys, there is a balcony for musicians. The room is furnished mostly with 20th-century furniture (early). In the corner of the hall there is a 19th-century quarter clock. Our attention will be attracted also by a sculpture Young Columbus made in Florence by Antonio Garella (1862–1919). Paintings on the wall are: Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo (1629-1693) Autumn Harvest Allegory, and J. B. Belin (1653-1715) Flowers.
