On the north wall of the Hall the Arts of Trivio (Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric) and of the Quadrivium (Arithmetic, Music, Geometry and Astronomy) were depicted, according to a hierarchical order of learning that leads to the point of arrival of all human knowledge, Philosophy, which triumphs in the center of the wall opposite the window.

Dialettica, Retorica) e del Quadrivio ( Aritmetica, Musica, Geometria e Astronomia), secondo un ordine gerarchico di apprendimento che conduce al punto di arrivo di ogni sapere umano, la Filosofia, che trionfa al centro della parete opposta alla finestra. Ogni pianeta influenza una fase della vita umana, ad ogni fase della vita umana corrisponde, nella scala dell apprendimento, una diversa disciplina, ogni disciplina e simile, per le sue proprieta, ad una delle sfere celesti.
