On the outer wall of the Oratorio dei Disciplini, a crowned skeleton stands over a dead pope and emperor: the Triumph of Death and Dance of Death painted by local artist Giacomo Borlone de Buschis in 1485. Nearby, the town hall carries Pietro Fanzago's astronomical clock of 1583, which still shows the hour, the zodiac sign and the phase of the moon.
