There is always something going on in the big piazza in front of our apartment. "City Hall" is located there and it seems to be the major spot for big events. There is the weekly market on Fridays and this was where a crowd gathered to watch the Mille Miglia pass by.
There was a major election last Sunday. It was European Parliament elections throughout the EU but in Italy there were also some local elections. Our commune (pronounced ko-myu-nay) elected a new mayor. Luca Menesini's election headquarters were right in front of our apartment across from City Hall so we had a front row seat for the victory celebrations. The crowd got a lot larger and louder after this.
Today there is a bicycle even for kids. This morning there were dozens of kids going in circles in the piazza. Tomorrow this location is going to be the finish of a large, fun ride.
We like our view here and all the things that happen but it is also noisy and there is lots of pollution.
