Here is where Montefalco is located:
In the Piazza del Comune, which is almost exactly circular, stands the Palazzo Comunale, formerly called Palazzo del Popolo. Built in 1270 with very small dimensions, it was later expanded on the entire left side during the 15th century, when it was expanded with a portico with octagonal pillars, finished with capitals with large acanthus leaves: above the Renaissance loggia stands a large terrace that dominates the square. The façade along Corso Mameli preserves a beautiful testimony of the 13th-century construction: the elegant mullioned window with a twisted column. Continue and learn more on umbriatourism.it

The Dialogue Fountain in Piazza Garibaldi in La Spezia. The Dialogue Fountain, located in Piazza Garibaldi in La Spezia, is one of the most significant contemporary works of art in the city. Created by the artist Viliano Tarabella in 2002, the fountain is a symbol of communication and connection, reflecting the values of openness and exchange that characterize the community of La Spezia. The Dialogue Fountain is composed of two circular granite structures that emerge from the ground and seem to communicate with each other. The two forms, despite being separate, are interconnected by the flow of water that continuously flows between them, symbolizing the idea of perpetual dialogue and constant interaction. This design choice evokes a sense of harmony and cooperation, fundamental elements in human communication. Water, the central element of the work, flows delicately between the two structures, creating a play of reflections and sounds that enriches the visual and sensorial experience of visitors. The smooth surface of the granite and the continuous movement of the water give the fountain a sense of fluidity and tranquility, inviting reflection and contemplation. The dialogue represented by the fountain is not only a conversation between two physical entities, but a broader symbol of dialogue between cultures, generations and ideas. In an era characterized by rapid change and global interconnections, Mangiarotti's work takes on an even deeper meaning, recalling the importance of open communication and mutual respect. Piazza Garibaldi, with its central location and lively daily activity, is the ideal place to host the Fontana del Dialogo. The square is a meeting point for residents and tourists, and the fountain serves as a visual and symbolic fulcrum, inviting people to stop and reflect on the value of dialogue in modern society.
Since its inauguration, the Fontana del Dialogo has received widespread acclaim from both critics and the public. It has quickly become a landmark in the city of La Spezia, not only as a work of art, but also as a place for meeting and social interaction. The fountain is often used as a backdrop for cultural events and public demonstrations, underlining its central role in community life.

Where is the fountain located:
The Fountain of Dialogue is in the center of Piazza Garibaldi in La Spezia. Made of Carrara marble by the sculptor Viliano Tarabella, it was inaugurated in 2002. The design choice of architects Antonio Leone and Cesarina Zanetti proposed a monument intended as a place to stop, sit and interact with passers-by, at the beginning of the historic Via Prione. For this purpose, the entire ring of the balustrade of the basin, intentionally smooth, is made available as a seat near the water itself, whose clarity is enhanced by the light color of the bottom of the basin.

The famous Piazza San Babila in Milan. Located in the beating heart of Milan, Piazza San Babila is one of the most famous and iconic squares in the city. This urban space is not only an important traffic hub, but also a historical, cultural and commercial landmark. With its distinctive architecture and strategic location, Piazza San Babila represents a perfect combination of Milanese tradition and modernity. The square takes its name from the Church of San Babila, one of the oldest religious buildings in Milan, dating back to the 4th century. The church was built on the ruins of an ancient pagan temple and has undergone numerous modifications and restorations over the centuries. The current structure, which dominates the square, is the result of interventions that took place during the 17th and 18th centuries, while maintaining its historical charm intact. Piazza San Babila has long been a fundamental crossroads for Milanese commerce and culture. In the 1930s, with the expansion of the city and the development of the surrounding neighborhood, the square took on a new urban dimension. The opening of numerous shops, cafes and restaurants transformed San Babila into a meeting place for citizens and tourists, consolidating its role as a hub for shopping and social life. One of the distinctive elements of Piazza San Babila is the mix of architectural styles that characterizes it. Alongside the historic buildings, there are modern constructions that reflect the urban development of Milan. Among these, the building designed by Giovanni Muzio in the 1930s stands out, with its characteristic portico and clean lines that represent an example of rationalist architecture. In the 1950s and 1960s, the square underwent further transformations, with the construction of new commercial and residential buildings that helped define the current skyline. The Snia Viscosa Tower, with its innovative design for the time, is one of the symbols of this phase of development. Today, Piazza San Babila continues to be a vital meeting point for Milanese people and visitors. Its central location makes it easily accessible and well connected to the city's main attractions, such as the Milan Cathedral, the Teatro alla Scala and the Quadrilatero della Moda. The square regularly hosts cultural events, demonstrations and promotional initiatives, confirming its role as one of the hubs of city life. In recent years, Piazza San Babila has been the subject of a major urban redevelopment project. The aim was to improve the usability of the public space, making it more welcoming and safe for pedestrians. The project included the reorganization of traffic, the creation of new green areas and the redevelopment of the pavements. These interventions have further enhanced the square, making it even more attractive and functional. Piazza San Babila represents a perfect synthesis of the history and modernity of Milan. From an ancient place of worship to a commercial and cultural center, the square has been able to adapt to the changes of the city, maintaining its relevance intact. Today, as yesterday, San Babila continues to be a symbol of Milanese dynamism and elegance, a place where the past and the present meet in a harmonious balance.

The fountain was moved from Ponte Reale to Piazza Colombo in 1861 to embellish the new nineteenth-century square commissioned by the architect Resasco. Not only beauty but also utility since the barchile served as a watering place for horses and mules coming from the countryside that passed through loaded with vegetables towards the eastern market.

The beautiful Piazza Senarega in the alleys of Genoa. In the heart of Genoa, hidden among the alleys of the historic center, lies the suggestive Piazza Senarega. This picturesque corner is an architectural and historical jewel that tells the authentic soul of the city. The square takes its name from the ancient and noble Senarega family, who in the Middle Ages owned several properties in the area. Today, Piazza Senarega is a quiet refuge from the lively activity of the city center, characterized by a cobblestone pavement and surrounded by historic buildings that bear witness to the passing of the centuries. One of the main points of interest is the Church of San Torpete, a small baroque church that dominates the square with its simple but elegant facade. The church, restored over the years, is a perfect example of local religious architecture and a place of peace and reflection. Walking through Piazza Senarega means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by, where every stone seems to tell a story. The narrow streets that lead to the square offer unique and unexpected views, making this place a must-see for those who want to discover the true essence of Genoa. Visiting Piazza Senarega does not only mean exploring a hidden corner of the city, but also living an experience that combines history, art and culture in an authentically Genoese environment.
