Piazza del Comune, Medieval square in Prato, Italy.
The square features porticoed buildings, including the Palazzo Comunale with its gallery and the Palazzo Pretorio housing the municipal museum.
Created at the end of the 13th century at the intersection of two medieval roads, the square functioned as a market for meat, oil, and grain.
The central marble statue by Antonio Garella depicts merchant Francesco Datini, with bronze reliefs illustrating significant moments from his life.
The square contains many benches, cafes, and shops, making it a central point for meeting people and accessing local services.
The Fontana del Bacchino fountain, created by Ferdinando Tacca in the 1650s, displays a bronze figure playing with grape clusters.
