Sala di Psiche is a hall in the Palazzo Te, a pleasure palace located in Mantua, decorated by Giulio Romano and completed around 1528–9. The decorations draw not only on Apuleius, but also, it would appear, on the Hypnerotomachia (The Protean Ass: The Metamorphoses of Apuleius from Antiquity to the Renaissance).
