The Innocent and the Guilty



The words above the door, "Regia Corte", means King's Court. Our hotel renovated the buildings that used to house the court and turned the courtroom into a guest room. The doors on either side of the bed use to lead to stairways. After judgement, the innocent exited the courtroom on the right, the guilty on the left and took stairs down to the street below. The court sat across a large piazza and below the sassi on the opposite side. People watching could determine the outcome of cases by the stairs the parties used.
