Wisdom inspires Justice, while Faith, Charity, and Hope hover above the Common Good, mirroring the Tyrant’s court. To the north, contrasting the west wall, Justice and the Common Good rule righteously with the virtues as their advisors, outnumbering the vices. Avarice, Pride, and Vainglory hover above him. On the heavily damaged west wall, discord and poverty emanated from the rule of demonic-horned Tyranny, who keeps Justice bound at his feet and turns to the vices as advisors. Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s famous fresco “Allegory of Good and Bad Government” covered the room on all sides. After looking out from the deck of Sienna’s Palazzo Publico, my cohort and I passed through a chapel and a larger room to the Sala di Nove, where the Siena city council once met.
