Piazza Antonio Gramsci, square in Carrara, Italy

Piazza Antonio Gramsci is a square in Carrara whose layout dates from the 1887 renovation under mayor Agostino Marchetti. A central garden holds a monument to Pellegrino Rossi erected in 1876, and a scenic staircase runs along the eastern side, with several buildings overlooking the space.

The square occupies the former princely garden, later called Piazza d'Armi. Under mayor Agostino Marchetti in 1887 the area was rebuilt into its present layout, with a central garden holding a monument to Pellegrino Rossi erected in 1876. It was renamed Piazza Risorgimento and later dedicated to Antonio Gramsci, though locals still call it Piazza d'Armi.

Locals still call it Piazza d'Armi, the name it held when it was the princely garden's parade ground, and the change to Antonio Gramsci never displaced that habit. The central garden holds a monument to Pellegrino Rossi, the Carrara-born economist and politician, erected in 1876.

The square sits in Carrara's historic centre, with buildings overlooking it and a scenic staircase running along its eastern side. The central garden, trees and palms give shade, and benches allow a pause. It is a pedestrian public space, reachable on foot from the surrounding streets.

The monument in the square's central garden honours Pellegrino Rossi, the Carrara-born economist and politician, and was erected in 1876, before the square was renamed after Gramsci. The garden and the staircase along the eastern side date from the redevelopment carried out under mayor Agostino Marchetti in 1887.
