The decoration in other important spaces in the residence are attributable to <em>Salvio Savini<\/em>: the loggias, the stairways and the Sala Grande of the Piano Nobile, built in 1580 at the behest of Cardinal Fulvio della Corgna. Even the ground floor area, often used as a secret place for intellectual debate, seems to have been frescoed by <em>Savini<\/em>.
