Atrium, Palazzo Comunale

[In construction]

The vaults of the atrium are supported by a single central arch.

The well dates to the 15th century.

[Series of measures - where??]

The stairs lead to the Sala del Consiglio.

The atrium contains a collection of Roman and medieval remains from Narni and the surrounding territory. 

Funerary plaque (1st century BC)
This plaque [on the back wall] contains sculpted busts of two men and a woman.  The inscriptions below name the deceased:

C LATVEDIVS C(AII) F(ILIUS);  C LATVEDIVS C(AII) F(ILIUS);  PETTER

This commemorate Caius Latuedius, son of Caius; another man of the same name who was presumably his son; and Pettia, who was presumably the wife of the first Caius Latuedius and mother of the second.

Lion (1st or 2nd century AD)
This marble lion near the central pillar was found in 1930 near the Nera at Recentino (outside Narni).  The sarcophagus on the floor in front of the [back wall] bears a modern inscription that records its discovery at the same place and time, and the two might have formed part of the same monument.

Funerary Inscription (1st or 2nd century AD)
This inscription between the last two columns (see below) on [which wall ??] was found in situ at Schifanoia, outside Narni.  It reads:

L(UCIUS) AERVSSIO C(AII) F(ILIUS)RVFO IIII VIRO AED SALVIAE M F SECVNDAE L(UCIUS) AERVSSIVS L(UCII) F(ILIUS) RVFVS FILIVS FECIT

The inscription reveals that Lucius Aerussius Rufus, son of Lucius  erected a monument for his father, Lucius Aerussius Rufus, son of Caius.  The deceased is commemorated as one of the quattuorviri  aediles.  It seems that the monument was erected on a rural property belonging to the family.

Funerary Inscription (1st or 2nd century AD)
This inscription to the right of the last column (see below) on [which wall ??] is of unknown provenance.  It reads:

C(AIUS) LINDIVS C(AII) F(ILIUS) M(ARCUS) VALERIVS P(UBLII) F(ILIUS) III VIRI AED D(E) S(UO)

The inscription seems to record the largesse of two of the quattuorviri  aediles: Caius Lindius, son of Caius and Marcus Valerius, son of Publius.

Funerary Inscription (1st or 2nd century AD)
This fragment of a marble inscription to the right of tthe one described above was found in 1861 embedded in a well near Santa Maria Impensole.  It reads:

[D]VLCIS NIMIS PROLE[S] [S]PES SOLACIA NOSTR[A] [Q]VI TANTVM MISERIS TR[IBVISTIS] [P]ARENTIBVS IGNEM HIC PR. . . [IA]CET FATIS ER[E]PTVS NEFANDI[S] [VIXIT ANNIS. . .] MENS(IBUS) DEC[EM]

Although fragmentary, the sense of the inscription is clear: "sweetest child,our comfort and hope, whom fire has taken from his unlucky parents, wicked fate snatched you away".

Remains of the Monument to Giordano Bruno (1910)
This monument was erected in Piazza Cavour in 1910, on the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Italian State.  [Giordano Bruno was executed as a heretic in 1600.  A statue of him had been erected in Rome in 1860 in the anti-clerical atmosphere following the unification of Italy.] 

The monument in Narni was destroyed in 1926 on the orders of the Facist government.  The bust of Giordano Bruno  now stands  near the central column of the atrium, and the four ancient columns  that had been re-used on the monument stand against [which wall?].
