The Town Hall, the administrative seat of the Comune since the Middle Ages, stands elegantly on the east and north sides of Piazza Grande. Its current appearance is the result of renovations and additions carried out between the 16th and 18th centuries. What immediately catches the eye is the L-shaped portico on the ground floor and the Clock Tower in the centre of the northern side. The latter is also called the “Mozza” (truncated) because of a collapse following an earthquake in the 17th century. Inside, one of the most significant rooms is the Sala del Fuoco, which features a 16th-century frieze by Nicolò dell’Abate. Historically, this room also served a practical purpose by providing coals to the population, which added a functional dimension to its artistic beauty.
