Together, with the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, Palazzo della Ragione is a symbol of the city. Built in the 13th Century CE, it is called the Salone, because of its large room with its wooden vaulted ceiling (destroyed and rebuilt many times over the centuries), making it the largest undivided hall in the world. The piazza and the bustling daily market are dominated by its loggia. It was a real layman's center in the city. Justice was carried out in the upper rooms, adorned with frescoes of astrological depictions (perhaps even by Giotto). If the sentence was serious, the accused would be taken to one of the local prisons. The building also houses a large wooden horse that Annibale Capodilista had made for a merry-go-round and then donated to the city. On the ground floor, traditional commercial activities took place, as they still do today.

Palazzo del Bo

Home to the university since the 16th Century, the building dates back to the same time, and was then renovated in the 20th Century. The best-preserved area is the interior courtyard, with its porticoes decorated with coats of arms of the noble families, to which the students belonged. It housed the first anatomical theater in the world (1594) and the desk of Galileo Galilei, a teacher of mathematics. Hours vary as per season and guided tours are also available on weekdays and subject to availability.

The picture that emerges goes beyond that of a family archive. The archival heritage also includes hydraulic maps, measurements and land registry documents. The piazza opposite the villa holds a splendid antiques market on the last Sunday in every month.
