Two rooms of the ancient monastery of the Benedictine nuns, which was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century, can now be visited. The access, through a tree-lined path, immediately leads to the rooms of the Abbess Giovanna da Piacenza. The two communicating rooms are the work of one by Alessandro Araldi who worked on it in 1514, the other by Correggio who completed it in 1519. The Araldi proposes a decoration very close to the canons of Roman painting of the time, describing scenes sacred and profane. Thus we find a vault decorated with candelabra on a blue background, surrounded by tondi, squares and lunettes illustrated with scenes from the Old and New Testament. The Camera della Badessa Giovanna, a work by Correggio, on the other hand, introduces a completely humanistic pictorial language to Parma. By painting a berceau with plant interweaving, Correggio cancels the creases of the original late Gothic umbrella vault. The architectural space is therefore canceled out by the painted space as the philosophical dictates of the Neoplatonic culture suggested to the author. The decoration evolves from the center of the vault with the triple lunar coat of arms of the Abbess, dividing into sixteen segments; the cherubs look out from the ovals in the intertwining of branches and leaves carrying allegorical symbols of hunting. Each of the sixteen oculi corresponds to a monochrome bezel with mythological characters illuminated from below in such a way as to be almost like bas-reliefs. Diana is represented on the fireplace, symbolizing the Abbess herself, driving the chariot, about to leave for a hunting trip. Next to it there is a small room with a copy of the Last Supper made by Heralds. The Cella di Santa Caterina is a small room located at the edge of the garden of the former convent of the Benedictine nuns of San Paolo. On the two walls Alessandro Araldi (around 1460 - 1528) frescoed two scenes from the life of the Saint: Catherine's dispute before the emperor Maximin and Saint Catherine and Saint Jerome. Access to the Cell varies according to the availability of operators and is free.
