Description
Florence's Piazza della Repubblica stands where the Roman forum used to be several centuries ago. The new piazza was officially inaugurated in 1890 and the monumental arch that stands at its center was completed in 1895, bearing the controversial inscription "L'antico centro della citta de secolare squallore a vita nuova restituito", meaning "the old city center from its past squalor was restored to a new life". This square became a gathering place for locals, especially students and artists, who liked to relax in cafe-lined Piazza della Repubblica. It is in the heart of city and the city's liveliest and most entertaining square. Today, the square beats to the rhythm of the children's carousel, residents out for fresh air and promenading tourists. It's a great resting place from all the overwhelming art to be seen and experienced in Florence's many museums. The square is best experienced after sundown when it's aglow in bright lights and the air filled with music from street performers, street vendors' sales pitches, and children's delightful shrieks from their carousel ride.
