After the death of his brother Vettore, who had become the sole owner, Giovanni built the two wings closing off the square courtyard, placing the oval staircase and the extraordinary coffered room with lantern there.
In these rooms of the palace, a new important cycle of decorations was commissioned, executed by, among others, Camillo Mantovano and the young Federico Zuccari, to provide a worthy setting for the renowned collection of statues, medals, ancient busts, books, and paintings.
