The captivating tale of "Eneide" comes to life through the intricate frescoes that adorn the Palazzina's third room. This epic poem, written by Matteo Maria Boiardo, takes us on a journey filled with adventure and mythical encounters. In one fresco, we witness the transportation of the horse under the walls of Troy from Aeneid, Canto II. The Trojan War unfolds before our eyes as this cunning strategy is employed by the Greeks, and is a moment of tension and anticipation as destiny hangs in balance. Another scene depicts Venus, disguised as a huntress, appearing to her son Aeneas and his companion Achates on the beach of Libya. Her divine presence commands them to embark on a new path towards Dido. Love intertwines with fate in this encounter, setting forth a chain of events that will shape their destinies. Venus continues to play an influential role as she prays Neptune for protection over Aeneas' ships in another striking fresco. The power of gods collides with mortal endeavors at sea, highlighting both their vulnerability and resilience amidst turbulent waters. Turnus soldiers launch an attack on the Trojan field in yet another vivid depiction from Aeneid Canto VII. Battle cries echo through these ancient halls as heroes clash swords and shields collide, and is a testament to human courage and sacrifice amidst chaos. Duck hunting scenes intermingle with Turnus' allies in another breathtaking fresco from Canto VII. Nature's beauty juxtaposes man-made destruction as war engulfs all aspects of life during these tumultuous times. A monochrome fresco reveals Vulcan overseeing blacksmiths forging weapons for Aeneas while Venus watches over them in his forge within Palazzina's third room or room dedicated to "Eneide. " This portrayal showcases divine intervention shaping mortal outcomes through skillful craftsmanship.
