This was the site of the palace of the Counts of Antignano and Coccorone in the 12th century. The old tower from this palace can be seen in the wall along Corso Goffredo Mameli. This palace was destroyed when Bevagna and Montefalco rebelled against imperial Foligno in 1249: the soldiers of the Emperor Frederick II retook both cities and sacked them.
The inscription on a sculpture of a lion seizing a goat that came from Palazzo Comunale records the rebuilding of the palace in 1270 under the Podestà, Bianciardi. This sculpture is now in Museo Civico.
The original Sala del Consiglio, which is on the right at the top of the first flight of steps, now houses the Biblioteca. One of its original bifore windows survives and can also be seen from Corso Goffredo Mameli. The original portico that ran beneath i was subsequently enclosed.
The palace was extended to the left before the portico on the façade was added in the 15th century.
The top storey was added in the 18th century to house a new Sala del Consiglio.
Madonna del Latte with saints (15th century)
This fresco, which is in an aedicule at the left end of the enclosed portico that runs along the right side of the palace, depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned, with SS Fortunatus and Severus to the sides. (This space now houses the Post Office, and the aedicule is now to the left of its left entrance).
