Scagliola is a type of fine plaster used in construction and sculpture. The same term also identifies the inlay technique that, from the end of the sixteenth century to the early seventeenth century, was born to "imitate" marble and hard stones with a mixture of the same plaster, combined with natural glues and colored pigments.
Scagliola was invented in the seventeenth century in the city of Carpi, having immediately achieved great success and diffusion.
It was also produced and loved in Florence during the eighteenth Century
the double coat of arms, certainly the result of a marriage, is that of the Gambara and Zoboli families. A certain Cardinal Gambara was one of the owners of Villa Lante in Bagnaia. The plateau shows various damages, which have already been treated.
