Town Hall and Tricolour Flag Hall

The building has been the Town Hall since 1434. A date carved in a block of sandstone on the right-hand side of the arch in via Farini confirms that the building of the town hall site began in 1414. The portion facing the south side of the square was completed in 1417.

Historical notes

It is partly situated at the beginning of via Toschi and partly on the south side of the main square, dedicated to Camillo Prampolini, where is also the Cathedral.

The Municipal Council began its activity in 1434, after the construction of the vaults over via Farini and via Croce Bianca; as reported in 1461, it appears that the external loggia below was also used for meetings. The Town Hall façade, enhanced by a three-arched portico with coupled pillars, was built in 1774, as per design by Ludovico Bolognini. The Town Hall coat of arms is situated under the roof cornice. Some internal rooms are decorated with eighteenth century frescoes and nineteenth century paintings.
