Once called "Hall of Heroes", 37 meters long, 9 meters high and 17,5 meters wide, before 1379 the date
on which Silk Lombardo on prayer Carrarese, ended the the "De Viris Illustribus" of Francesco Petrarca.
The 36 paintings were originally executed by Altichieri, Avanzo and by Ottaviano Pradino.
The current decors of 1540 with the colossal figures of emperors and heroes, led to that name of the hall.
They are for the most part of Domenico Campagnola, others belong to Stefan Dall'Arzere and Gualtieri. It is a tradition that the portrait of Cardinal Zabarella placed between the windows of the east, this is the work of Tiziano: may be, but it isn't certainly worthy of such great brush.
In Sala dei Giganti stands a beautiful portrait of Francesco Petrarca, attribuited to Altichieri (second half of '300).
Only the perimeter walls are originals, because a fire of 1540 that destroyed the roof and the frescoes, the only one left is the fresco depicting Petrarca at his home in Arquà. It is believed that existing frescoes have been suggested by prince Francesco I from Carrara and artists by Petrarca in the same number of thirty six, like t the work
"De Viris Illustribus" commissioned by Francesco I to the poet in the same number of biographies, chosen from the highest level of Roman characters.
Below the figures there are beautiful epigraphs, composed by the Selvatico. The 44 figures are enclosed
in boxes and niches, divided by fake doric columns.
