Its improvement began at the end of the fourteenth century. It lasted until 1440 with the construction of the Florentine facade, attributed to Michelozzo, in the center of which stands the civic tower. The ground floor of the façade is covered in ashlar, while the upper levels are in travertine; the crown consists of a projecting gallery with battlements Guelph. Inside, there is a courtyard with two overlapping loggias.
