“An ornate staircase, decorated with antique prints of the Hermitage, brings us to the first floor where we find a long gallery with a splendid selection of prints of Spoleto and a series of benches which lead onto the 'cells' which have been transformed into suites.
The original antique style and furnishings have been preserved in the rooms, despite the fact that their main use has changed. Each room has been given the name of a Friar and an appropriate motto has been put above the doors. "In silence the soul is more divine" is written above the door on the 'Gelsumino' room, where the President of the German Republic Veisecher and numerous cardinals, amongst whom Urbani, Pacelli - future Pope Pius XII - and Montini - future Pope Paul VI - have slept”. (Ville e Giardini - Francesca Lepore)

 

When Cardinal Cybo ordered the construction of the actual church " Santa Maria delle Grazie" he also restored the appartaments, which included his rooms, an anterooms and a library. In the anteroom the walls are covered by paintings. Those masterpieces were executed by Ginesio del Barba di Massa. In the cardinal's library the walls are decorated in painted wood pannelings.
