Cloister of San Francesco

The structure of the building has remained substantially intact until today, but the adjoining church that had a tower with clock has disappeared. To the left of the facade of the town hall, there are traces of an ancient fresco that belonged to the church. Now, in the current Piazza Gramsci, remains the cloister of San Francesco, which was renovated in the second half of the nineteenth century. The loggia preserves in the third arch a fragment of a fresco, which belonged perhaps to an altar, depicting the roof of a hut and related to the theme of the Nativity of Jesus.
An inscription allows to identify the artist, Dionisio Nardini, who executed the fresco in all probability in the last decade of the fifteenth century. In the rooms obtained from the nineteenth century renovation and those of the nearby Palazzo Palazzi (sec. XVIII) are located the municipal offices.
