Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Morning light pools in the square's shallow basin, turning worn flagstones warm and honey-colored. Cafés spill onto the arcades where locals linger over thick espresso and paper cones of salt-roasted chestnuts during cooler evenings.
Punti salienti: On market mornings more than 60 colorful stalls crowd the square, offering everything from antique postcards to pungent local cheeses. An arcade tucked on the north side hides a tiny workshop where a family named Bianchi hand-prints festival posters, you can hear the press's rhythmic thump as you pass.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes, the square and surrounding lanes are cobbled and slightly uneven.
- For photos, use raised steps or terrace cafés to capture the full sweep of arcades and the church facades without crowds in the frame.
- Avoid midday on market days if you want quieter shots; early morning or around sunset offers softer light and fewer people.
- Skip hunting for the prime front-row café table; take a side terrace for a better price and a relaxed view of daily life.
