Piazza del Popolo in Specchia is the heart of the small village, one of the hundred most beautiful in Italy. In the large newly-paved square, history and modern art meet in fine taste.\n\nThe imposing Palazzo Protonobilissimo Risolo faces the square, with busts of Desiderio Protonobilissimo and his consort flanking its entrance gate, while modern stone sculptures by the artist Antonio Scupola stand almost at its center, and further ahead rises the bell tower of the mother church.\n\nThe spacious square is the hub of the charming historic center, which fans out from here into characteristic alleyways. It has always been a meeting place for generations of locals and often becomes the stage for all kinds of events.
