I'm not sure if this has been already included, and I have no ideaa (yet) from where it is from, but more than that I find it interesting that they look like the first weirdos in the f1r.

Looking at all the stock images from this photographer this photo clearly is from Montalto Dora Castle

There are numerous examples in Verona (some are of course later than the VMS). I've posted all of the ones I saw there in this folder: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Thought I would look around for more to add to the map. 

Trento


Torre Civica 
The Palazzo Pretorio used to be the Bishop's residence until the 1250s. Together with the Torre Civica and the imposing structure of the Cathedral of San Vigilio, the church is one of the main features of the striking Piazza Duomo in Trento. Erected in 1220 by the Prince-Bishop Federico Vanga, the palace used to be the seat not only of the Bishops of Trento, but also of the Municipality, the Podestà and the Courts as well. Its main body was built on the remains of two churches: San Giovanni Battista and San Biagio. Decorated with Ghibelline embattlements, the façade features two rows of three mullioned windows on the first floor and mullioned windows on the second floor. Recent refurbishing works have given the fortified palace back its Romanesque, 13th century looks. Today, Palazzo Pretorio houses the prestigious Museo Diocesano Tridentino, which commemorates its famous Council.
Originally, the Torre Civica was Palazzo Pretorio's keep. Built before the 11th century, the tower increased in height several times. With its big clock, it accompanies the flow of time in the square. However, the tower was used in the past as a city jail and it still houses the Campana della Regna, the bell that used to call the arengo, or public assemblies and death sentences, which were carried out in Piazza Duomo beneath it.

I am not sure that those are really swallow-tail merlons. And also it is significantly later

It's all there.

(During the restoration of the house in 1988, a brick directly above the stone vault was removed and its age determined. It was assigned to the Renaissance period, the 16th century).

Everything above the windows above the gate is 16th century.
Almost certainly from new owners in 1585.
