| Piazza Della Republica |
This is my favorite Piazza. It wins by default however. The rest of the piazzas in this city are just plain miserable. This particular space is not terrible though and at times is even pleasing to be in. It is the heart of the pedestrian old city. This piazza was once a jewish meat market and then became a parking lot before being converted into a "place for the republic". It can be a very lively space depending upon the time of day. One will almost always encounter a number of different types of vendors selling legal and illegal goods. The carousel is a real treat for those who are into that kind of thing and there are a number of cafes to choose from all along the perimeter. The reason i chose this as my favorite is because it is very close to my apartment and i feel safe here at any time of day. For all of these reasons i have awarded this piazza the prestigious 11 spot on my 12 day countdown! WHOO!
