Description

Situated in a central position, it has a trapezoidal plan with the monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II in the center (placed there in 1881) and a column bearing the lion of S. Marco. On one of the short sides rise the Clock Tower, dating back to the eighteenth century, and the Town Hall (the result of various construction periods between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries), characterized by the triple-arched portico and embellished by a sixteenth-century loggia. Next to it stands the palace of the Academy of Concordi (1814), while the opposite side is occupied by the beautiful Roverella palace, built in 1475 on a design by Biagio Rossetti from Ferrara.
