| At the end of the 16th century it was
decided to build a new town hall, commissioning initially the
Vignola and later on G. della Porta to project it. This building
was ended only at the end of the 18th century, with the completion
of the portico by F. Barigioni.
The façade consists of three stocks, each characterized
by pillars and pilaster strips, and of a portico at the ground
floor to form an open gallery. Within this palace there is the
local Museum, with a large collection of several archaeological
rests coming from the surroundings, among which a sarcophagus
representing the labours of Hercules and some terracotta objects,
which can be dated back to the 6th Century B.C. and which probably
decorated one of the temple of this area. The palace was completely
rebuilt after the second world war.
