✨ In una dimora principesca come Palazzo Borrom ✨ 
In una dimora principesca come Palazzo Borromeo non poteva mancare la Sala del trono.
👑
Sopra il trono settecentesco, acquistato a Venezia da Maria Borromeo D'Adda, sei grandi statue dorate in legno sorreggono la volta decorata da stucchi.
L’intera sala è un tripudio barocco: dagli stipi in tartaruga alle decorazioni a parete in oro e azzurro. Un’esaltazione dell’insolito e dello stravagante con cui Vitaliano VI voleva superare le corti di Mantova e Genova.

✨
In a royal residence like Palazzo Borromeo, the inclusion of a Throne Room is essential.
👑
Above the eighteenth-century throne, purchased in Venice by Maria Borromeo D'Adda, six large gilded wooden statues support the vault, decorated with stuccoes.
The entire room is a Baroque triumph: from the tortoiseshell cabinets to the gold and blue wall decorations. An exaltation of the unusual and extravagant, with which Vitaliano VI wanted to outdo the courts of Mantua and Genoa.
