The college was commissioned by Cardinal Nicolò Capocci and built between 1361 and 1369 to host foreign students for free. Since 1825 it has been the seat of the Collegio della Sapienza Nuova founded in the 15 th century. Within, worthy of note are a beautiful well and a six-column portico added on in 1596, a small, charming theatre, recently restored, and an ancient chapel of San Gregorio Magno that preserves a crucifix from the second half of the 14 th century ( visits by appointment ).
