In 1773, when the Jesuits were suppressed, the "College" passed to the Episcopal Seminary that introduced some changes to the southern part of the building (facing the present Via Cavalieri). In 1796 it was sold to Dominicans who were suppressed a few months later. Between 1797 and 1977 it was used as military and then civil Hospital. It has undergone many functional changes and enlargements, especially in the last century. Between 1915 and 1920 the staircase's valut (damaged by the earthquake in 1916) was demolished; then the staircase was extended in order to allow a better access to the last floor, which had been made one metre higher and rendered habitable. In the Thirties the wing facing Via Cavalieri was enlarged in order to host various medical laboratories. Then, new bodies were added in the two courts to create new services and pavilions.

The building was bombed during the Second World War and was immediately re-built with non philological preoccupations. There is no trace anymore of the original furniture and decorations. But the external facades, the first two flights of stairs, some rooms and part of the corridor, and the plan as well, still show the touch of the ancient rooms of the Jesuit College.
