Well above ground level on a tiny side street not far from Café Alle Porte, you can find the family plate of the once powerful Ugo family, who originally installed it back in 1450. After seeing several large photographs and reading a bit about its history at the tourist office, we found it slightly underwhelming in real life, especially given the fact that it clings to the wall of a renovated building, but we'll admit that when we stumbled upon it quite by mistake one morning it felt like winning some kind of sightseeing scavenger hunt.
