Our tour starts in the heart of the area of Porta Palazzo:
piazza della Repubblica, home of the largest outdoor
market in Europe, where every day different tastes, cultures
and languages mix together. On the north side of the square
stands the Antica Tettoia dell’Orologio, which houses one of
the covered parts of the market. On the external facade,
since 2006, there is the art work Amare le differenze by
artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, part of the larger project of
Luci d’Artista, and composed of a series of colored neon
lights that form the title of the work in 39 different
languages.
