The Camera degli Sposi (bridal chamber) in the Castle of San Giorgio in Mantua exceptionally re-opens from July 19th to October 5th 2014. Two years of restoration work after the earthquake of 2012 were necessary to return this famous Italian Renaissance masterpiece, frescoed by Andrea Mantegna between 1456 and 1474, to the public.
