Piazza delle Coppelle

Description:

• This lovely square is full of colour provided by the fruit market and also by the architecture of the medieval constructions, characterized by the bright paint colours used for decoration. This piazza was created by uniting three squares around the medieval church San Salvatore delle Coppelle. The homes here are not all that large: there is an 18th century building with stucco work, and another small house with a balcony in Roman Baroque style and a doorway that seems enormous compared to the rest of the construction. Here, there is still a country town atmosphere, with the market, people shopping with their bags and trolleys, completely different to the nearby streets full of shops and tourists.
