Over the course of the century, neglect and water ingress had caused extensive damage to the monument, and in 1923, its demolition was called for. The strong storm on the night of October 26-27, 1925, caused the pediment of the gateway arch to collapse, prompting Mayor Serafino Giannelli to sign the demolition order after the technical report by the municipal chief engineer, Telesforo Tachioni.
