Piazza Navona, the most beautiful Baroque square of roma, occupies the track of the ancient stage of Domiziano, or circus agonalis, of which it perfectly preserved the rectangular elongated form of the arena, with one of the minor sides (the northern one) curved, while the surrounding buildings occupy the place of the steps of the cavea. the stadium was built by Domiziano perhaps before 86 AD to serve the Greek athletic games he particularly appreciated, but that the Romans did not love, considering them immoral.

Piazza navona Piazza navona is located in the Paris district. is one of the most famous squares of the capital, immortalized in numerous postcards. in the ancient Roman, where the square rises, there was the Domtian Stadium, which was built thanks to the Domtian emperor. originally the name of the square was agone, since the stadium was oato for athletic competitions. Today, in the Piazza Navona you can see the sculptural work of the Benni monsoon: the fountain of the four rivers placed in the center of the square. the rivers represented are the danube, the band, the nile, the rio of the plata. of remarkable artistic value is the church of Sant'agnese in an agone erected by the will of Pope innocent x, in front of the fountain of the bernini. Navona square is always crowded, ideal place for a walk or to get an aperitif in the adjacent premises. in the summer evenings, the warm shadows of the sun at sunset dye the roofs of the houses and exalt the beauty of the urbe, giving the viewer a unique atmosphere. curiosity the poor but beautiful movie of 1956, directed by dino risi, was set in part in the Piazza Navona. was interpreted by young actors and represented roma in the 1950s. a pleasant film, which was then selected among the 100 Italian films to be saved.
Really very beautiful, stop if you visit the eternal city. Too bad for the employees of the restaurants that bother you to go to eat in their local. For the rest, man!
The legend of the navona square tells that every night of full moon, from the palace pamphilij comes a black carriage driven by devils and drawn by four horses imbizzarriti. above a woman with eyes of fire: it is the whisk: the ghost of the navona square. The pimpaccia is actually a nickname chosen by the pasquini to indicate Maidalchini Olympics, a very important character of the 17th century aroma. the construction of part of the navona square is due to her. perhaps the most beautiful square of roma. I find it very relaxing, expression of the Roman baroque and with the three fountains that bathe it create a magical and unforgettable atmosphere. Try to believe. If you are walking around the navona square during full moon nights, okkio at the Olympic woman's fairy! I photographed the fountains for you.
