The buildings in this area, between Piazza Santa Rosa and via Stamperia belonged to the family and there are some traces of early fourteenth century architecture. Kept in the apse of St. Peter’s Church, are the wooden choir stalls made by the Tiffner brothers which bear the crest of the Beggiami family.
