Monumento Leonardo Manzi/Piazza Unita d'Italia
Piazza Unità d'Italia (English: Unity of Italy Square) is the main square in Trieste, a seaport city in northeast Italy. Only a few steps separate the square from the Adriatic coast. If you ask many Europeans, even locals, they will tell you that this square is the largest in Europe. Before 1919, the square was called Piazza Grande. When the ceremonies of receiving high-ranking officials from other countries are organized, it is the president who welcomes another president here. And this is usually on the red carpet.
