In front of the Town Hall we find the so-called Vasari loggia: in reality the nine-arched construction, built on the occasion of the renovation of the current Town Hall square, dates back to 1513. The architects of the construction were Bernardo di Ghieba and Filippo da Bellinzona, while the traditional attribution to Vasari is justified by the restoration work carried out between 1560 and 1570, the period in which the Medici coat of arms was placed.

In 1773, for static reasons, the three arches on the Val di Chio were walled up, then reopened, at the request of the population, in 1922. On the closed sides of the loggia you can see the coats of arms of the Commissioners and the Podestà, some of which are polychrome, in Robbiana terracotta or sandstone.

The three stone arches represent a true window on the Val di Chio, a wonderful green valley protected by terraced hills; These face south and are mainly used for olive growing, being located in an area particularly suited to this type of cultivation.
