Around 1560 Castello executed frescoes throughout the villa of Tobia Pallavicino in Genoa. The Council of the Gods in the vault of the Salone depicts the deliberations of Jupiter over whether Odysseus should be allowed to end his wanderings and return home. Castello’s frescoes owed much to paintings that he had seen in Rome some years earlier – this figure is based on Jupiter in Raphael’s 'Council of the Gods' in the Villa Farnesina. No. 48
