The halls of the studio of Federico Landi reopen to the public following restoration works; these are decorated with frescoes from the first years of the XVII century.These halls bear witness to Federico's desire to enhance his own family name celebrating the family ties in the "Coat of Arms Room" and the possessions in the "Room of the Views".
The emblem of the Grimaldi family of Monaco is at the centre of the "Coat of Arms Room", to whom Federico was linked through the marriage of his sister Maria with Ercole I Grimaldi. Around it, the twelve cities under the dominion of the house of Monaco are represented in frames, amongst which can be seen the cities of Menton, Monaco and Roccabruna.
The "Room of the Views", however, shows a frescoed vault displaying the new sequence of possessions owned by the Landi family, straddling the Ligurian-Emilian Appennines: in all, approximately 50 areas, including Bardi itself, Compiano and Santa Maria del Taro. The same scenes are faithfully reproduced in the incisions which are included in a volume published by Carlo Natale in 1617, dedicated to the history of the Landi, great feudatories of the Sacred Roman Empire.
