Do some people-watching at Piazza Matteotti. If its well-trodden paths could talk, this historic town square would have countless tales to tell.
You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when in Citta Bassa. Piazza Matteotti is a great place to start here, but there are loads of other fine places to check out. Piazza Vecchia, Carrara Academy Gallery, and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore are near the public square and will round out your day nicely.
