Piazza Maggiore și Piazza del Nettuno
It may seem that everyone in Bologna would have met at the same time with friends in these two markets adjacent from the heart of the city.The conversation and laughter are mixed with the sound of water sprinkling in the magnificent Neptune fountain, which gives the name Piazza del Nettuno.Created by Giambologna in the sixteenth century, it is one of the best wells of his period.Almost all the major attractions in the city are a few minutes walk, as well as the most important streets - including the crowded commercial street, via Dell 'IndiPendenza and Via Galleria with its numerous old aristocratic mansions.Via Dell 'Archiginnasio, with elegant arches, runs next to the great San Petronius basilic;The still unfinished facade dominates Piazza Maggiore.On the northern side is the former Palazzo del Podestà (the Palace of Governors) with a tower, torre dell 'Ango, dating from 1259. Under its vaulted dome, people who whisper on one side can be heard by those in the opposite corner.
