Broletto

A broletto in medieval Italy communes was the place where the whole population met for democratic assemblies, and where the elected men lived and administered justice.

[1] Broletto is an ancient Italian word, from Medieval Latin "broilum, brogilum", which probably derives from a Celtic word.

Ancient broletti are major buildings in Milan, Brescia, Pavia, Piacenza, Como, Monza, Reggio Emilia, Novara and others.

Several places or buildings in northern Italy are called "broletto".
