This large, open Piazza owes its name to the “arringhe” (speeches) which took place here during public assemblies. During ancient times, there was a large elm tree in the center of the square, which has now been replaced by lovely tins travertine stone fountains with sea horses, fish and gargoyles in bronze sculptures by Giorgio Paci. The Piazza houses the Duomo, the Baptistry, the City Hall and the Palazzo Panichi.
