"Effects of Good Government" is a renowned fresco by the Italian painter Ambrogio Lorenzetti, painted between 1338 and 1339 as part of a series of murals in the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) of Siena, Italy. These frescoes are collectively known as "The Allegory of Good and Bad Government." Lorenzetti's work is of great historical significance as it is considered one of the earliest and most comprehensive visual representations of civic virtues and the impact of governance on both urban and rural life during the Italian Middle Ages.

The "Effects of Good Government" fresco is located on the longer wall of the Sala dei Nove (Room of the Nine), or Sala della Pace (Room of Peace), which was the council room for the Nine Governors and Administrators who ruled Siena at the time. The fresco is divided into two main sections: the urban effects and the rural effects of good government. In the urban scene, Lorenzetti depicts a vibrant city of Siena filled with stately buildings, active markets, and citizens engaging in various activities, symbolizing the prosperity and peace that result from just rule. The rural counterpart shows a lush countryside with bountiful agriculture, secure travel, and flourishing trade, emphasizing the harmony between the city and its surrounding environment under effective governance.

Lorenzetti's frescoes are celebrated for their detailed portrayal of contemporary Sienese life and architecture, as well as their sophisticated use of perspective, which was innovative for the time. The "Effects of Good Government" stands as a testament to the artist's skill in conveying complex political and social messages through art, and it remains a pivotal reference for the study of medieval political theory and the role of art in public spaces. The fresco's enduring legacy is reflected in its influence on later art and its role as a symbol of the civic identity of Siena.
