Piazza Pretoria

Step into Piazza Pretoria and you’re confronted by the gleaming-white nude figures
of a racy sixteenth-century Florentine fountain, protected by railings to ward off
excitable vandals. The piazza also holds the plaque-studded and pristine Municipio

and, towering above both square and fountain, the massive late sixteenth-century flank
of the church of Santa Caterina, its entrance around the corner on Piazza Bellini.
