In the municipal period, the population of Bologna is on the rise, and many homes begin to be built outside the Roman walls called "of Selenite" of the sec. IV and V, therefore, there is a need to protect these new neighborhoods as well. Therefore, a second wall was built, about four kilometers long, equipped with 19 doors called greenhouse or towers (because it is surmounted by defense towers), surrounded by a moat fed by the Aposa stream and the Rhine River. Of the 19 doors, today there are only four left, and one is the Torresotto on Via Piella right below the house!!!
