Town hall of Alessandria

Town hall of Alessandria, Town hall and palace in Piazza della Libertà, Alessandria, Italy.

The Palazzo del Municipio, known as Palazzo Rosso for the colour of its façade, stands at Piazza della Libertà 1. It has a three-dial clock and is topped by a rooster taken from the Casalesi by the Alessandrini in 1225. The present building results from post-war reconstruction after 1944 bombings and a 2019–2020 restoration of the roof and façades.

Construction began in 1772 to a design by Giuseppe Caselli; work was suspended in the early 19th century, resumed in 1825 and completed in 1830 by Leopoldo Valizzone. Allied bombings in 1944 badly damaged the structure, and the building visible today results from postwar reconstruction. A 2019–2020 restoration recovered the roof and the inner and outer façades.

The nickname Palazzo Rosso comes from the red colour of the façade. On the roof stands a rooster taken from the Casalesi by the Alessandrini in 1225, and the building carries a clock with three dials. The municipal theatre inside was destroyed by an Allied bombing in 1944 and was not rebuilt.

The town hall sits directly on Piazza della Libertà and is easily reached on foot from the main streets of the historic center. Visitors will find the main entrance clearly visible on the front of the square.

On the roof sits a metal rooster, taken by the Alessandrians from the Casalesi in 1225 and kept as a trophy. The facade also carries a clock with three dials, an unusual arrangement worth looking up for.
