Maurizio Bettoja's son Angelo had a feeling that it would be an ideal location for a hotel. After hiring a manager and staff, he bought the rest of the building and transformed it into Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio. Since then, the hotel has welcomed guests of all nationalities into a building that - in spite of its many renovations - has been able to hold onto its late nineteenth century atmosphere and style.
