The Loggia di Levante is located to the east, named after the rising sun, whose rays first enter this room. Today, the space is enclosed by large windows, but originally, it was open on two sides, serving as the perfect place where architecture and nature merged. The room’s decoration was created by Giovanni Battista Castello, known as Il Bergamasco, around 1560. The painter dedicated the frescoes to Apollo, the god of the Sun and the Arts, who is depicted at the center of the ceiling, guiding his radiant and powerful chariot, symbolizing the light of day that first spreads here.

Built on the western side of the villa, the Loggia di Ponente was designed to catch the last rays of sunlight and welcome the first glimmers of the moon. It mirrors the Loggia di Levante on the opposite side. The room’s decoration is dedicated to Diana, goddess of the hunt and the lunar cycles, who is depicted in every panel of the ceiling and walls.

The Hall of Honor (Salone d’Onore) is the largest and most lavish room in Villa delle Peschiere, richly decorated on every surface. It is illuminated by three large south-facing windows, which frame a breathtaking view of the city and the Gulf of Genoa. The frescoes that embellish the grand pavilion vault and the walls were painted by Giovanni Battista Castello (Il Bergamasco) around 1560 and remain in excellent condition to this day.
