Central Italy is home to some of the artistically richest cities of the country and each of them, in turn, is somehow symbolized by a square. Florence and Rome are the main protagonists, and fight for supremacy in this atypical race.

Rome
Background and inspiration to some of the best known movies of the golden age of Italian cinema, Rome boasts the presence of several squares, some of them dating back to the times of the Romans.

Piazza San Pietro
As the centre of the Citta’ del Vaticano, Piazza San Pietro is the emblem of Christian life and the Catholic Church. As such, it is visited by millions of believers each year, but it is also a crucial and essential stop for all the visitors of the Eternal City, regardless of their faith. The square was designed by Bernini, who created a circle with several columns, where 140 statues representing saints were placed. Look up to the sky and you will find the famous window from which the Pope greets and blesses Catholic worshippers during the Angelus every Sunday.
