Town Hall |
|
The town hall is the former military hospital. It is a little cute building featuring a sort of loggia at the entrance and at the piano nobile. On the sides are two other important frescoed houses. The palazzo on the right is decorated with a very typical Genoan stripe pattern, while the one on the left is painted with a tromp l'oeil motif representing a rusticated basement and broken pediments at the upper floors.
