Piazza De Ferrari, Central square in Portoria, Genoa, Italy.
The 11,000-square-meter plaza features a large bronze fountain at its center, surrounded by four eclectic-style buildings and three converging streets.
The square acquired its name in 1877, honoring Raffaele De Ferrari, Duke of Galliera, following the demolition of San Domenico Church for Teatro Carlo Felice.
The plaza contains notable structures including the Doge's Palace, Teatro Carlo Felice, and the Ligurian Academy of Fine Arts, representing different architectural periods.
The De Ferrari metro station serves the square directly, with multiple bus lines providing additional public transportation access throughout the day.
The central bronze fountain, designed by Giuseppe Crosa di Vergagni and installed in 1936, underwent complete restoration during the square's modern renovation.
