## Commentary

Additions were made to the interior of the Palazzo Pubblico in the 19th century that, to mirror a Siena that was now part of a unified Italy, tried to link the emblem of the &#34;good governor&#34; of the Republic with that of the Savoyard king in the Sala del Risorgimento. The fresco decoration in this room is totally out of keeping in the context of a palazzo celebrated as an image of Siena from the 13th to the 17th centuries.
