Overview
The Green Count, Amedeo VI of Savoy, the hero of the crusade of 1366, stands in the centre of this square. The 18th c. square was formerly the Piazza delle Erbe but was rebuilt by Benedetto Alfieri in the second half of the 18th c. The design was supposed to bring an architectural conformity to the street, square and surrounding buildings, including the Palazzo di Città, the City Hall, which was being enlarged.
