The other, on the arch over the main entrance to the Palazzo dei Consoli in Gubbio, reads ‘…struxit et immensis hoc Angelus urbsveterensis’. The Palazzo Comunale at Città di Castello, begun in 1322 according to the damaged inscription, is stone-faced and was built only as far as the first floor. The original design must have included at least another row of windows, in keeping with the contemporary style of public and private buildings. The ground floor of the façade has a socle rising to a stone bench and two doors alternating with small, narrow single-light windows. The main door, which has a pointed arch with mouldings and a tympanum, is framed by pilasters with foliage capitals. The simpler secondary door has a pointed arch with heavy voussoirs. Above the string course that runs along three sides of the building are inserted a series of fine two-light windows with slender marble mullions supporting trilobed arches, and the same emphatic voussoirs. The ground-floor hall is divided by two massive octagonal piers with foliage capitals, which support the arches of the six heavily ribbed vaults....
