La piazza
A Vespa on the piazza at sunrise
Did you know?
Almost every Italian town is built around a piazza — a wide open square where the church, the caffè and the market all look at each other.
In the morning the piazza belongs to deliveries and scooters; by evening it belongs to children chasing footballs and grown-ups standing about chatting.
In my region people often say ciao, bèla! and add a friendly ehi to everything. Our dialect is soft and sing-song, and grown-ups still use it at the market.
