The main lecture hall, featuring a ceiling entirely adorned with frescoes by Andrea Urbani, can accommodate up to 45 people.
The room is fully air-conditioned and equipped with Wi-Fi, high-quality ambient microphones, an auto-tracking camera system, and two large blackboards, ensuring a comfortable and technologically advanced environment for lectures and events.
