Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, called Parmigianino
Gian Galeazzo Sanvitale and Paola Gonzaga
In a band, beginning at the right of the doorway: AD DIANAM / DIC DEA SI MISERUM SORS HUC ACTEONA DUXIT A TE CUR CANIBUS / TRADITUR ESCA SUIS NON NISI MORTALES ALIQUo / PRO CRIMINE PENAS FERRE LICET: TALIS NEC DECET IRA / DEAS [To Diana: Tell me, goddess, if Fate led hither the wretched Actaeon, why was he handed over as a mere morsel to his own dogs? It is not permitted except that mortals should pay the penalty for some crime, nor is such anger befitting to goddesses.]
