The fresco on the ceiling of the main hall is divided into a complex system of transversal arches that carve out views of the sky and surrounded by a lavish cornice. The three large openings of the vault contain Venus, the Three Graces, and Jupiter; Mars, Fame, Neptune, Vulcan, Mercury, and Jupiter; and Minerva, with Two Nymphs, Diana, and Aeolus. In the corners, enormous crests, bordered by a large quantity of military symbols, hold the Allegri family coat of arms and the interwoven monograms of the family members.
The ceiling underwent a restoration, completed in 1947, that was not particularly successful.
