Palazzo dei Priori is a palace in Todi, Italy. On the third floor is a bronze eagle sculpture, l'Aquila di Todi (1339) or Tuderta, by Giovanni di Gigliaccio. Among the legends justifying the use of this symbol in Todi, one holds that the early pre-Roman inhabitants had planned to site the town in the valley next to the River Tiber, but a sheet used to map out the locale was snatched by an eagle and deposited on the hilltop. The inhabitants took this augur as a sign to relocate.
