Description
The
Palace's structure is very particular for its "C" form. We cross
Street Torre and we admire the central body of the construction, built
with
bricks at sight, while the two leaning sides have been plastered and
restructured. At the center of the facade there is an arc sustained by
cylindrical
columns. Above the arc there is a balcony with a handrail of beaten
iron. The
bricks, that form very simple (horizontal and vertical lines) reliefs,
decorate
the facade and highlight the high windows. The Marquis Castelli, in the
second
halves of '600, began his construction, which has never finished. The
building
is high, with four floors, two lower
used by the servitude, two taller used by the Lords. Around 1860
it was
destined at working house. Then it was neglected. Its architecture and
its dimensions
excited the imagination of the people, that wrongly believed it the old
leftover of a castle or a tower. In this way it was born his surname,
the
tower. It has been modified in the time and recently restructured. We
come back
to our steps and, at the corner between Street Torre and Street
S.Michele, on
the facade of the building which entertain the electronic shop, we meet
a mural
painting.
