Piazzale Umberto I presents itself as a border place between the new city and the ancient village. This is overlooked by a series of monuments that underline the interaction in the history of spaces between the past and the present.

Incorporated between the first and second walls, Piazza Roma overlooks what was once the ancient “fortress”. The square, developed between the 13th and 15th centuries, is, today as in the past, the fulcrum and focal point of all city activities.
