It is one of the oldest squares in the historic center of Genoa, and since the 12th century it was the only large public space within the ancient walls, used for markets, jousts, chivalrous tournaments, and popular gatherings.
The project redefined the face of the square by introducing the pedestrianization of the area in front of the former church of San Salvatore, new trees (such as olive trees), benches, tactile paths for the visually impaired, and the reorganization of historic pavements.
Calzolari provided the large planters surrounded by perimeter seats in addition to the custom “Lithos” benches, the bollards, and the metal notice boards.
