Municipio-Town Hall

Municipio-Town Hall
La Piazza del Popolo fu costruita dai veneziani e rappresenta il fulcro degli interventi di rinnovo urbano attuati sotto il dominio della Serenissima. Le dimensioni della piazza, rimaste a tutt'oggi inalterate, furono definite negli anni 1470-80 in seguito all'ampliamento di un semplice spiazzo lungo la sponda del canale Padenna, che scorreva nel punto in cui ora si erge il palazzo merlato.

Sull'esempio di Piazza San Marco a Venezia, nel 1483 furono erette due colonne a delimitare la piazza verso il corso del Padenna. In cima a quella più vicina al palazzo,dove ora c'è il Municipio, fu collocato il leone di San Marco; sull'altra, la statua del patrono Sant'Apollinare. Dal 1509, anno in cui il pontefice Giulio II prese possesso della città sconfiggendo i veneziani alla Ghiaia d'Adda, le insegne della Serenissima sparirono dalla piazza: il leone sulla colonna fu sostituito dal patrono e al suo fianco comparse la statua di San Vitale.

Dopo la proclamazione del Regno d'Italia, la piazza fu dapprima intitolata a Vittorio Emanuele II. L'attuale denominazione risale al referendum istituzionale del 1946, quando oltre l'88% dei ravennati (la più alta percentuale in Italia) preferì la repubblica alla monarchia.

The Piazza del Popolo was built by the Venetians and represents the fulcrum of the urban renewal interventions carried out under the rule of the Serenissima. The dimensions of the square, which have remained unchanged to this day, were defined in the years 1470-80 following the enlargement of a simple esplanade along the bank of the Padenna canal, which flowed at the point where the crenellated palace now stands.

Following the example of St. Mark's Square in Venice, two columns were erected in 1483 to delimit the square towards the course of the Padenna. On top of the one closest to the palace,where now is the Town Hall, the lion of St. Mark was placed; on the other, the statue of the patron saint St. Apollinare. From 1509, the year in which Pope Julius II took possession of the city by defeating the Venetians at the Ghiaia d'Adda, the insignia of the Serenissima disappeared from the square: the lion on the column was replaced by the patron saint and the statue of San Vitale appeared at his side.

After the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy, the square was first named after Vittorio Emanuele II. The present name dates back to the institutional referendum of 1946, when over 88% of the people of Ravenna (the highest percentage in Italy) preferred the republic to the monarchy.

A very attractive town hall, Dany, with the flags adding a splash of colour. All the best, Joe

Thanks a lot, Joe. As it seems this is only one of the palaces of the town hall, there is another here on the link side, that I did not see.Very strange, but this is really nice.

Ja, das sieht ziemlich venezianisch aus! Im Stil so ganz anders als die frühchristlichen Kirchen.
