HISTORY, CHARACTERISTICS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY

The subject of the auction is a historic building used as a toll booth, built at the end of the nineteenth century with parts of a pre-existing building demolished following the renovation of Piazzale Arnaldo. The building falls into the category of buildings for public use from the nineteenth century, in which the stone materials and ashlar pillars emphasize their role and importance, according to the neoclassical style of the time. The portico recalls the style of that of the nearby Grain market. Its presence, as well as by the clear search for monumentality, is justified by the need to verify the contents of the means of transport in a sheltered place. The construction of the toll booth was then part of a broader urban transformation of the eastern part of the city in the 1186th century, aimed at improving the circulation of vehicles and goods and the hygienic-sanitary rehabilitation of the most degraded areas. The Dazio takes its name from Porta Torrelunga, a toponym that recalls an ancient gate already present in the city walls of XNUMX.

In 1907, with the cessation of the toll duties and the removal of the gate that surrounded the square to the east, the building was used for commercial use on the ground floor and for residence on the first floor. The building, with an irregular plan, is divided into two floors above ground, with a portico for public use on the front along Piazzale Arnaldo, overlooked by three real estate units on the ground floor and with the only staircase with three flights serving the upper floor currently unused. The basement is made up of large rooms with cross vaults and original terracotta floors, the openings of which along the northern front are precluded because they are walled up and partially buried by the roadbed bordering the multi-storey public car park.

The only open space of the building is an internal courtyard for exclusive use located to the north.

The building currently presents a state of generalized structural damage, with a significant crack pattern which has appeared since 2011.

The lesions affect floors, stairs, walls and facades and the original flooring in the basement of the building was lifted.
