The building, with its essential and elegant lines, once housed the Registry and Tax Office and, immediately after the war, a cinema on the ground floor. It is now a private residence. The presence of the Bottari family in San Valentino has been documented since the 17th century:
in fact, in three of the 15 parchments preserved in the municipal historical archive, Andrea Buttario, Giovanni Andrea Buttarius (parchments dating back to 1642), and Lucia Buttarij (year 1697) are mentioned. However, there is still no information regarding the date of construction of the building, which in the first half of the twentieth century housed several offices, including municipal, registry, and tax offices, thus giving its name to the square it faces, Piazza degli Uffici, now Piazza Emidio Cesarone.
The partisan Emidio Cesarone, known as “Anguilla,” was born on January 24, 1915, arrested on February 18, 1945, and was shot in the garden of Castello Devachan in San Remo, Liguria, on March 5, 1945. He worked for the resistance intelligence service in the area of Arma di Taggia in the province of Imperia. Betrayed by some fascist infiltrators, he was arrested together with his father-in-law, army marshal Carmelo Genova. They were tortured and sentenced to death along with ten other partisans.
