History

It is a 16th-century building, but completely renovated in the second half of the 19th century, with interventions that favored the chromatic and decorative aspects of architecture.[3]

The mezzanine attic has rectangular windows; all other openings are arched. The facade is pained bright orange and decorated with marble paterae, white string courses, and other moldings.
