The Palazzo Comunale in Fidenza is a historic building with neo-Gothic features, located on the south side of the central Piazza Garibaldi. The original town hall was built in Lombard-Gothic style in the 13th century by architect Bendidio, with the first mentions of its construction dating back to 1273. Construction was completed in 1354.
In 1527, the building was occupied by Spanish and French troops, who partially destroyed it. Reconstruction only began in 1570 under the direction of Master Paris. During this reconstruction, the bell tower was erected and the façade decorated with a fresco of San Donnino, painted by Antonio Formaiaroli.
In 1875, the main façade was almost completely rebuilt in neo-Gothic style by the set designer Girolamo Magnani. He removed the plaster and frescoes, changed the old trifora on the first floor into bifora and added Ghibelline battlements, together with two small turrets at the ends.
The Palazzo Comunale has a rectangular plan around a central courtyard. The symmetrical main façade is entirely faced in brick and is characterized by a high portico supported by massive columns, surmounted by five wide pointed arches. Above a row of brick arches are four large bifora with central stone columns, set within semicircular arches that frame the rich decoration of the arch forms.
