The entire old town is charming for the evident Baroque and
Neoclassical evidences left by the old and highly civilized middle
classes of the town. Amongst them are noteworthy: the imposing
18th-century building in Piazza San Rocco, the highest edifice of the
old Intra with its five floors; the sumptuous Palazzo Peretti in Via De
Bonis, with its windows decorated with stone or stucco frames, the
carved granite portals, the small stone balconies and the wrought-iron
railings; the characteristic Freschetto and Moretto backstreets; Piazza
Ranzoni, the commercial heart and vital centre of the town, where the
19th-century Palazzo delle Beccherie stands out; the 14th-century
Palazzo del Pretorio, (seat of Intra’s town hall up to 1939) adorned
with a big sundial painted on its front in 1868. |
