Assisi The vault located under the Palazzo dei Priori is commonly called "Volta pinta" and provided access at the communal brothel, documented since the 14th century. In 1453, it was decided, for greater decorum, to close the back part; the premises were then used for the grain trade. (Nomination file, p. 31)
