Descrizione:
It was purchased by the municipality in 1887 at an auction of Santo Varni's collection. Window arch pediment decorated with two chiselled coats of arms. Each coat of arms is surmounted by a helmet with an eagle-shaped crest. The whole space is richly decorated with plant motifs: a bearded male head emerges just above the setting point of the object. The coats of arms are probably identifiable as arms of the Doria family.
