La bella piazza Mazzini a Chiavari.
La famosa piazza detta dei Cavoli perché sede storica del mercato ortofrutticolo mattutino della cittadina ligure.
Dal 1888, in mezzo alla piazza, c’è la statua dedicata a Giuseppe Mazzini (da cui il nome alla piazza) realizzata da Augusto Rivalta.
Vi voglio sottolineare i portici e gli splendidi palazzi che si affacciano sulla piazza.
Chiavari fu una delle culle del Rinascimento italiano: diede infatti i natali ai padri di Giuseppe Garibaldi, Giuseppe Mazzini e Nino Bixio.
I really like the buildings that surround it, what about you? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

The architectural layout remained unchanged until the late sixteenth century; from that time onwards new noble palaces were built within the walls in the contemporary Renaissance style. The choice of the new architectural style was especially evident in the main streets Ravaschieri and Stefano Rivarola where palaces very similar to other buildings in Genoa were erected or revised. From 1648, or perhaps from 1646, it received the title of City from the Republic of Genoa.
