The phrase "Ubi dubium ibi libertas" will be engraved on the wall of La Indulgenza, right on top of the doors to the roof garden. The house's proximity to the Palace of the Inquisitor makes this and other subtle references to religion and the Inquisition rather relevant. The name of the house is also a reference to the Indulgences granted in the past by the Popes or by the Church (and not, as many have suggested, to the Order of Perpetual Indulgence in NY).
Anyone with any knowledge in latin or on the Inquisition is kindly asked to contact me.
