Plebiscite Square

Piazza del Plebishito is the main and largest square in Naples, which is the unspoken symbol of the city. The square is especially popular among citizens - here appoint dates, arrange friendly and business meetings, play performances and theater productions directly under the open sky.

Despite the fact that the history of the square stretches from the seventeenth century, its current name Piazza del Plebishito received after the events that occurred in October 1860. It was then that a national assembly took place on the square, following which southern Italy became part of Piedmont. Translated into Russian, the name of the square means “People’s Assembly Square”.
