There's an ugly Catholic church built in the 1930, fascist-style and thus even more ugly. The inside is not so awful (see photo), I have been there whenever one of my neighbors dies:(( In the past 2 years it has happened already thrice.
A nice park with beautiful trees is unreasonably placed in the middle of the square but you gotta watch out for trolleys racing right though it (in Italy even trolley buses go fast). The stop lights are several, surrounding the square.
