Monte di Pietà Vecchio, Renaissance building in Piazza della Loggia, Brescia, Italy.
The Monte di Pietà Vecchio features two identical building sections with a facade divided into three tiers connected by a gallery and Venetian loggia.
Architect Filippo Grassi designed this structure between 1484 and 1489, incorporating Roman artifacts into its walls during the construction period.
The central gallery displays ancient inscriptions and archaeological elements, forming part of what became the first civic lapidary collection in recorded history.
The ground floor contains retail spaces while the upper levels house public administrative offices, maintaining its role as a functional municipal building.
Seven small arches supported by thin columns form the loggia, with a decorative balcony opening through the central arch above the gallery.
