The palace's Gothic windows, covered stairway and battlements stem from the 14th century. In the power struggle between Guelphs and Ghibellines - the opposing camps supporting the Pope or the Holy Roman Emperor - that engulfed the towns and cities of Italy in the 13th century, this house is where the Capitani di Parte Guelfa administered the property confiscated from the defeated Ghibellines.
