Extremely refined grotesque figures, griffins and grotesque masks decorate the bedroom of the newlyweds Vincenzo Pianetti and Virginia Azzolino. In this large room, the space enclosing the marital bed is marked by four small columns. A lunette, surely well visible from the marital bed, depicts the joint coat of arms of the two families: the two-headed eagle and the lion of the Pianetti family and the six stars of the Azzolino family.

The entire pictorial cycle featured in the room unfolds the theme of night and sentimental education. Across from the bed, there are two large medallions hanging on the two symmetrically specular entrance doors, representing a woman and a little cupid in an attitude that reminds the newlyweds of marital benevolence.

The cycle of paintings in the alcove, where the bed was placed, features elegant umbrella-like decorations and four medallions, painted with a blue background. In each one of the medallions, a cupid holds an element linked to the theme of sleep.

In the two arches beside the columns, the theme is once again that of sentimental education which, in this case, with Venus and Cupid, assumes a more explicitly sexual connotation.
