Epigrafe apposta su casa Bocca, in Borgo Stretto (L. Corevi, Comune di Pisa)The renovation (renovatio) of the Medici: In 1594 the Sea consuls (Consoli del Mare) imposed the renovation of the arcades in Borgo Stretto, as they were dilapidated. The wooden beams with cross vaults were replaced and new masonry colonnades were built. Palazzo Bocca is one of the best examples, also because the family enjoyed considerable privileges at the Medici court. On the façade an epigraph testifies to the recovery intervention in 1595, which also included the insertion of the bust of Ferdinando I de' Medici (on the sides the coats of arms of the Bocca and Della Seta families), a distinctive element that characterises the entire structure.
