Mars room, Royal Palace of Caserta

The room dedicated to Mars, god of war, and confirmed by the ceiling fresco depicting The Triumph of Mars (1814) by Antonio Galliano, was used as an antechamber for nobility. The room is also home to a monumental goblet in agate alabaster and serpentine marble, given to the sovereign Ferdinand II of Bourbon by Pope Pius IX for the hospitality he received during the period of the Roman Republic (1848-1849).
