Nel '500, Verona era chiamata dai visitatori urbs picta, ossia città dipinta, tanti erano i palazzi cittadini abbelliti da facciate affrescate con colori sgargianti. Infatti a quell'epoca era comune che le case fossero decorate con affreschi, ma a Verona quest'abitudine era talmente diffusa da conquistare il già citato soprannome. Le Case Mazzanti sono il più grande esempio di quella che fu una delle peculiarità della Verona del passato. Osservando le Case Mazzanti e i resti di superficie affrescata su molti altri edifici di Piazza delle Erbe, si può immaginare la meraviglia che coglieva chi entrava nella piazza nel XVI secolo. Le case Mazzanti conservano ancora in un buono stato di conservazione i meravigliosi affreschi realizzati da Alberto Cavalli, che fu allievo di Giulio Romano e collaborò con lui alla realizzazione di Palazzo Te a Mantova. Si possono ritrovare molte delle caratteristiche stilistiche di Giulio Romano nei volumi dei corpi, nell'uso del colore, nell'impostazione della composizione. Gli affreschi raffigurano scene mitologiche e allegoriche.

The statue on the fountain seems to turn around to look at those frescoes ... :-)
Very effective pdr with good color despite the hard and low light, it seems to me finally (but I could be wrong), note a slight inclination of the horizontal alignments to the left.
Nice picture anyway, congratulations Giuliano.
Best wishes, hello Claudio :-P

Claudio thanks for your valuable comments always, the lines actually are slightly tilted to the left, if straightened losing the alignment of the windows under the eaves of the roof, threatening to cut them from the scene, hello and good on April 25
Giuliano ;-) :-P
