Castello del Buonconsiglio monumenti e collezioni provinciali

Bernardo Cles’s Apartments

The apartments take up the second floor of the southern wing of the palace. In the 18th and 19th centuries it incurred pilfering and damage that caused the destruction or loss of the original furnishings. It currently displays part of the Museum’s wooden sculpture collection that consists of important works from the Roman and Baroque periods. All that remains in the first room is a fragment of the ancient and precious majolica-tiled floor (ca. 1532) and in what was once Cles’s bedroom, the frieze frescoed with the busts of ancient emperors and putti, the work of Girolamo Romanino (1531), that were re-done in part.

Following the “Guardacamera”, connected to the patrol bay and therefore with the Torre del Falco and Torre Aquila, one arrives at the “Stua de la libraria”, that is, Cardinal Cles’s once luxuriously furnished study.
