Piazza
When we walked into the Piazza Novana it was full of people. It was a big open space in between all of these buildings. In the middle were statues and fountains. The piazzas here can be a get away from the busy city. When you look around people are sitting outside of cafes having casual conversation with eachother. I guess a piazza would be our equivalent of a town square; a meeting place for a town. There is much to do, but it also a relaxing atmosphere. Everywhere we looked around there were small shops to go into and locals and tourists alike. In the smaller piazzas away from major landmarks, they are much quiter and fewer tourists. It is a very nice place to sit down and have gelato.

I agree with your idea of a piazza being like a town square. Though I believe that piazzas have some form of history behind them, much like a town hall. I loved the Piazza Novana and can't wait to experience more Piazzas throughout Rome
ReplyDeletePiazzas are pretty sweet. Its kinda weird how there are so many things to compare them to. So much stuff goes down there its unreal. My fav part is def prob the sitting down to eat gelatto and people watch! hehe
