Inside the Palace of the vicar of Pescia, currently the seat of the municipal offices, there is the Council Hall or the Coat of arms Hall, located on the second floor, with beautiful frescoes from various periods depicting the most important podestà's coat of arms.
The great hall, which overlooks the square and dominates it from above, has two different series, some more ancient and fragmentary above a stone frame, under which there is continuous painted band running with other coats of arms of successive vicars between the 15th and 19th centuries.
The coats of arms with the name of the vicar and the dates of his mandate stand there and they can be read in the 'lambrecchini' or in rich cartouches placed at the bottom, in which other information is also collected, such as the activities carried out by the magistrate or the name of the ancestors who preceded him in the same office. The large Gori coat of arms, in blue with two golden crossed keys tied in red, is the most imposing in the room for the location above the entrance door and recalls in the cartouche that the cavalier Giovanni Gori conceived e started the extension of the vicarial seat.
The hall was renovated in 2019 to provide an accurate reading of the minute details and numerous writings now hidden by time.
