The first noble floor has a hexafora composed of four balustrated windows and two side monoforas supported by pillars and projecting balconies. The second noble floor has a bifora, supported by a projecting balcony, on the left and two monoforas on the right. [2] [3] The top floor was added in the 19th century and is rather featureless. [4] The water portal has a dentiled frame and bears a shield of the Benzoni family, dating back to the 14-15th centuries and made of the Istrian stone.
