When exploring the historic city of Rimini, Piazza Cavour makes for an excellent starting point for your walk. This square, once a bustling marketplace, has evolved into one of the city's vibrant social hubs. You'll find an array of bars and shops adorning its periphery. Along one side of the square, you'll encounter some remarkable historical buildings, including Palazzo Garampi, Palazzo Arengo, and Palazzo Podestà. At the heart of it all stands the Fontana della Pigna, which, in its current form, serves as a testament to the enduring history of this place, as it dates back to Roman times.
