On the walls, three South American paintings depicting the Sun Temple at Cuzco, Peru, the main square of Quito, Ecuador, and Giuseppe Viti crossing the Andes carrying cases of alabaster.

Under the paintings is an outstanding collection of 18th- and 19th-century Chinese miniatures painted on rice-paper with water-based Indian ink. Worthy of mention are the numerous porcelains of different origins on the two étagères, and the English silverware on the two alabaster-topped tables.

In the corners, the two celebrated and imposing alabaster candelabra made for Maximilian of Habsburg, the emperor of Mexico, and remained unsold after Maximilian’s shooting at Querétaro in 1867; paraffin lamps were lighted in the bulbs. The other columned alabaster candelabra date from the first half of the 19th century, and were all made in the Viti workshops. Along the walls are four consoles with marble tops. On the consoles, cases containing stuffed birds of paradise of New Guinea, a Balinese balsa-wood temple, a Chinese ivory junk, and Chinese ivory chessmen. The oriental items in the palace were brought back from the numerous journeys around the world made by the members of the Viti family. The portraits of young women were painted in the 17th century byMilanese artists Cittadini and Ceresa. Notable are the beautiful floor with white tesserae of hardened alabaster; the chandeliers are the Murano glass.

As is the case with most other rooms in the palace, the entrance hall has stencil-painted walls simulating tapestry.
An 18th-century gilt-rimmed mirror is bordered on both sides by 19 magnificent Indian miniatures on ivory; paper and wood, below, a beautiful alabaster console with a marble top. Opposite are three portraits of the Lombard school. In the umbrella stand, a small collection of parasols and antique sticks.

It was built in the early 17th century to a design by the Florentine architect G. Caccini. The “imitation marble” wall decoration dates from the 19th century. All the marble, stone, alabaster and wooden sculptures and pedestals are the work of the Viti workshops, which were the most important in Volterra for alabaster working in the 18th and 19th centuries, before they closed down in 1874.
