Reaching Piazza Libertà, several noteworthy Baroque palaces immediately stand out.

First of all is the old Town Hall, which, erected on a portico with twin pillars and round arches, is internally united with Palazzo Vagnone, uniform to the former in its exterior decorative features.

The council building, which was built in 1763-64 on an earlier design by Giuseppe Castelli by the Luganese impresario Domenico Conza, however, soon proved insufficient to contain the municipal offices, so much so that, after acquiring Palazzo Vagnone, the municipality in 1884 entrusted its renovation to engineer Giuseppe Bistolfi of Alessandria so that he could adapt it to contain the elementary schools.

New headquarters of the municipality then became Palazzo Carlevaris, named after the owner who acquired it in 1884.

The interior, which has two floors, to which is added a third formed by mezzanines (opened, in all likelihood, at the time of the 19th-century renovation), is distinguished by beautiful stately halls with stuccoes, frescoes and painted overlays.
