The Piazza Maggiore is a huge pedestrian square in the centre of the oldest part of the city. Surrounded by many of Bologna's Renaissance and medieval buildings and landmarks, the Piazza Maggiore is situated next to the Piazza del Nattuno. Nearby are many cafés, bars, musicians and street performers, creating an exciting and friendly atmosphere is this busy square 
Connecting the Piazza del Nettuno with the Piazza Maggiore, this street contains the large and famous Fontana del Nettuno, a fountain that was built in 1566 by Tomaso Laureti of Palermo and later embellished by Giambologna. With a group of angels and fish, it features an enormous statue of Neptune standing at the top oft the fountain. This slightly outrageous and very splendid fountain provides a useful meeting point in the Piazza del Nattuno.
