    Initially was the private chapel of the eighteenth-century Greco-Bardoscia Rococo' palace, then the structure was used as a guardhouse by the municipal administration. In 1850, 250 soldiers were housed inside it, while a few years later, with the unification of Italy, it was transformed into a civic tower. The mayor Antonio Dolce, in fact, decided to expand and embellish the city center with a tower dedicated to the new monarch Vittorio Emanuele II and a brand new clock, in plain sight. At the beginning it must be remembered that there was also a sundial that moved with the flow of the sun. The clock was first electrically lit in 1913.
