Piazza Italia, Central square in Reggio Calabria, Italy.

Piazza Italia features white Carrara marble monuments and institutional buildings, including Palazzo San Giorgio and the Teatro Francesco Cilea.

Originally named Tocco Piccolo, the square underwent reconstruction following the 1908 earthquake, leading to the implementation of the 1911 town Master Plan.

The central monument, created by sculptor Rocco Larussa in 1868, depicts Italy as a figure holding a sword and represents the breaking of chains.

The square connects to Corso Garibaldi and provides access to municipal offices, the Prefecture, and the Metropolitan City administrative headquarters.

Archaeological excavations revealed an underground structure known as the hypogeum beneath the surface of the square.
