Hall dell'Anticollegio
This room was the 'hall of honor for embassies and delegations waiting to be received by the college, which was delegated the foreign policy of the state.
This room, like the preceding, was restored after the fire of 1574 and its decoration is so similar to the Hall of Four Doors, with stucco and frescoes on the ceiling. The central one, with Venice in the act of giving rewards and honors, is due to Paolo Veronese Caliari said. A precious ornament adorns the top of the walls, and sumptuous are the chimney between the windows and door that leads into the beautiful hall of the College, adorned with columns and a pediment surmounted by a marble group of Alessandro Vittoria.
Ports are located next to the four paintings by Jacopo Tintoretto for Hall Square, brought here in 1716 to replace the original decoration with leather panels. In all, the scenes were mythological allegories of the wise government of the Republic.There are in this room other famous works including Rape of Europe by Paolo Veronese.
Hall of the Four Door
The room had the dual function of the waiting hall and passage, and named four beautiful doors framed by precious marble oriental, each surmounted by a sculptural group that refers to the environment which gives access.
The current appearance dates back to a massive restructuring made after the disastrous fire of 1574 by Antonio da Ponte designed by Andrea Palladio. The barrel ceiling, whose stucco decoration was made by John Change said the bombing, is home to frescoes and mythological representations of cities and regions under the Venetian rule, made by Jacopo Tintoretto from 1578. This decoration will be pointing out, are closely interlinked, the foundation of Venice, its independence from the beginning and the historical mission of the Venetian, according to the program already marked by celebratory decoration of the Scala d'Oro.
The works on the walls, including the Doge Antonio Grimani in adoration before the Faith and St. Mark in the glory of Titian, were made only at the end of the sixteenth century.A tripod, a famous painting by Giambattista Tiepolo Venice with receiving the gifts of the sea by Neptune.
Hall of the Council of Ten
The Council of Ten was established following the conspiracy in 1310 by Bajamonte Tiepolo and other nobles to overthrow state institutions. Having been formed to judge the members of the conspiracy should have been a provisional body, but as often happens in the history of Venetian institutions, rose to become a permanent body. Its powers were extended to all sectors of public life: religious orthodoxy, foreign policy, intelligence, defense of the state. Hence the rise of the myth of a powerful court, eyes and ruthless in the service of the ruling oligarchy, on the sentences were handed down very quickly and secret rite. The assembly was composed of 10 members chosen by the Senate and elected by the Great Council, which was added to the Doge and his six advisers. Hence the seventeen boxes in a semicircle, which still can be seen in the room. The ceiling decoration is due to Gian Battista Ponchino in collaboration with the young Paolo Veronese and Giambattista Zelotti. Carved and gilded, is divided into twenty-five compartments in divinity and allegories that illustrate the power of the Council whose task, the image of the celestial court, was to punish crimes and free the innocent. The interpretation of individual paintings is particularly complex because of the ambiguity of the mythological figures and the tendency of the creators of the programs overlap in meanings associated with traditional Venetian ideology.
