Description
The palace was built in 1306 by Pino degli Ordelaffi. Initially
it raised only on one floor with a frontage of 40mt. leaning on
eight Byzantine columns. It had been transformed during the
centuries until reaching the present structure. A great staircase
leads directly to Sala del Popolo, where the body of citizens met
to express its will on important events. The second room was called
Sala Nobile and it was reserved to cerimonies, representative
occasions and institutional duties. In this room there are three
paintings by A. Zambianchi. They reproduce ancient frescos
portraying rousing events of Bertinoro history. This is the reason
why this room is commonly called Sala dei Quadri or Della Fama.
Through this room it is possible to reach the place where the
ancient office of the governor was located. The big fireplace gives
it the name of Sala del Fuoco. From Sala dei Quadri through a
corridor it ispossible to reach Sala del Consiglio Comunale, where
the local administration meets. This room keeps the portraits of
famous clergymen from Bertinoro.
The bell-tower that rises next to Palazzo Comunale, was originally
used as a lighthouse or as orientation for the wayfarers. In 1599
the height of the tower was reduced and a Baroque bell-niche was
placed on the top of it.
In 1789 a balcony in wrought iron was applied to the main
structure. It was also dig a niche with a statue in local style
portraying Madonna del Lago,the protectress of Bertinoro. The tower
was restored together with the front of the palace in 1934. The
1600 clock was replaced several times and moved on the different
sides of the tower. The bells were forged in 1526 and they still
beat time. Nowadays the tower is the seat of Giunta Comunale and
overlooks the balcony of the turis office on the ground floor of
the building.
