In the late seventeenth century Domenico Piola and his workshop supplied designs for a great varity of media, ranging from textiles to ceramics, and decorated numerous palace ceilings with frescoes of secular subjects. It is therefore peculiar that his painted oeuvre is still considered as mostly religious. The present study, a continuation of an article published in 2012, intends to enhance our modern perception of Piola by presenting three paintings with mythological subjects from historic private collections and two others describing the daily pastimes of the nobility.
