"He was most likely responsible for the model of the Palazzo del Podestà ordered by the Regiment in C.E.1472, since it was necessary to repair the façade facing the main square which Burselli said was ruinous due to its antiquity. And the Municipality must have done well to entrust the study of the new works to , then at the height of his fame, sought after and envied by the courts of Italy and abroad, traveling in those years between Rome and Naples (C.E.1471) and Bologna. It was better for no one than him to solve the problem of redoing the large portico and the Romanesque façade without completely demolishing either one or the other, but only covering them with new forms. (Guido Zucchini (historian))"
