From the 14 th century, the entire block, as far as No. 104, belonged to the College of Merchants, one of the most important guilds in the Municipality of Perugia. Once a hospital for the poor, as the inscription above the central entrance shows (1507), it was until recently (1990) a public dormitory. Above the entrance is a stone inscription of the symbol of the College: a griffin above a ball of wool. In the recently restored Sala del Granaio are the traces of early decorations.
