The need for a new headquarters for the Cassa di Risparmio began to be talked about in 1882:the municipality was asked to cede an area at the then Piazza Vitelli for the building of the new residence and, two years later,the Cassa purchased the Bufalini stable and another house.
The goal was to erect a building that would be highly visible as a testimony to the relevance now assumed by the institution and at the same time contribute to the municipal project of restructuring and beautifying “Piazza di sopra.”
In 1901 a competition was announced for the new headquarters that was to rise between Via XI Settembre, the Palazzo Vecchio Bufalini and a se¬tion of Piazza Vitelli obtained following the demolition of the church of San Fortunato.
The commission,chaired by Giovanni Magherini Graziani,among the 14 projects presented chose that of the architect Vincenzo Benvenuti,entitled “Virtus et Diligentiae”.Laying the foundation stone in August 1904,the building was inaugurated in July 1912.
Vincenzo Benvenuti, a friend of Bishop Faloci Pulignani, distinguished himself in Foligno.
He worked, among other things, on the church of Madonna delle Grazie, the facade of Madonna del Pianto, but above all on the two facades of the Cathedral of San Feliciano.
In the period between the two wars, civil architecture, while tending to preserve established styles, also tried to produce and apply a new style.
Religious architecture for its part promoted competitions for the construction of churches not only in Italy, but also abroad (e.g., in the neocolonies).
In Foligno the only examples of the period are the Church of the Sacred Heart, at St. Paul's Workers' Homes, and the rebuilding of the Canonicals.
