Going up from Piazza Vecchia through Via Vignola, you come to this important place: "Piazza Arcudi". Today it is silent and uncrowded, although it has recently undergone an intervention to restore the paving that has made it regain part of its original charm.
In it numerous and ancient popular roads of this historical side of the city flow together. Vico Verme and Via Arcudi join up with Via Orfanotrofio while on the opposite side a building with a beautiful portal and corbels separates the accesses to Via Vignola and Corte Biscia.
In this place, it is said that the "governor's post" was located, that is the large mailbox located on the wall, where the citizens inserted letters or communications destined for the podestà, who passing from there to go to Vico Vecchio (old headquarters of the seat), he could pick them up and intervene to resolve in an authoritarian manner the disputes between the neighborhood and the disputes that had not found an adequate conclusion.
