This room, painted by brothers Salvatore and Giovanni Patricolo, reflects the widespread trend among nearly all European courts between the 18th and 19th centuries, which favored Orientalist themes. These themes echoed those already present in the Casina Cinese, located within the Favorita Park. In the hall, men and women are depicted dressed in traditional “Chinese-style” clothing, showcasing a refined appreciation for the Oriental world. Against a blue background, mountain landscapes can also be seen.

It is one of the most evocative spaces in the Royal Palace. Located in a medieval tower from the Arab-Norman core, known as the Joharia and facing King Roger’s Hall, it is now covered by an 18th-century wooden ceiling, at the center of which stands out a striking wind rose.

It is named after Roger II. The stunning mosaic decorations are attributed to his son, William I. The mosaics, with a secular origin, are unique in their depiction of phytomorphic, zoomorphic, and anthropomorphic elements (hunting scenes and allegorical emblems of Norman power). Everything suggests the presence of themes dear to the Norman rulers and a symbolic narrative of the Genoard, a paradise garden rooted in Islamic tradition.
