„Gallery of the Ancients“ (Galleria degli antichi) in Sabbioneta, Lombardy, Italy. This is the upper level of the building. The "great corridor in the castle square", as it was originally called, was built between 1583 and 1586. Total length is approximately 97 metres. The fresco decoration of the gallery was completed in 1587 by Giovanni and Alessandro Alberti and included some architectural trompe-l'œil. In 2008, Sabbioneta, together with Mantua was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, due to its exceptional nature as a newly founded city built in just over 30 years by Prince Vespasiano I Gonzaga and, as a recognition of its perfect example of practical application of Renaissance urban planning theories.
