De Agnete House

13th century

On the façade of this house, the epigraph reveals that it was Nicola, known as “The Lombard” and son of Giovanni de Agnete, who built it in 1283. Today, it represents one of the oldest civil architectural testimonies in the city. The building is distinguished by its exceptionally well-preserved façade. The structure is a significant testimony to the era of terraced houses, with a lodge specifically designed for mercantile functions. On the ground floor, one can clearly identify traces of a portico, a characteristic feature of this type of dwelling. The façade of the first floor, a mullioned window, today without its column, assumes a central role, flanked by two single-lancet windows. On the second floor, a triple lancet window, also lacking its columns, stands out, embellished with side brackets that once supported draperies.
