The wooden ceiling of the Sala del Consiglio dei Dieci (Council of Ten) is decorated with canvases by Paolo Veronese. The sumptuous pictorial decoration celebrates the glories and triumphs of Venice. Subjects include Juno Showering Gifts on Venetia, as well as the great oval with Jupiter Hurling Thunderbolts at the Vices (the latter is now in the Louvre, Paris and has been replaced by a 19th-century copy).
