It is a meeting point for Romans and there is always something going on in and around the square during the day, from impromptu Jazz renditions to strange mime artists!! This is a great place to sit and have some lunch and watch the world go by and there are plenty of fruit and veg markets within walking distance to stock up on fresh produce. We grabbed a few sandwiches and some fruit ...
