Between the scenes are present the Conquest of Veio, the Punishment of Master of Falerii, Camillo that defeats the Volsci, but the main scene is the Triumph of Camillo. The scope of these frescoes is the exaltation of Cosimo new Furio Camillo, accumunate with these last from the objective of conquest of the Etruria and from the defense of Italy from the French (Gauls). The Hall is connected through a door to the Cappella dei Priori.
