In the middle of the square is the statue of the writer, professor and politician Giuseppe Montanelli. The square was renovated in 2019 and was a candidate for the Tuscan Architecture Award. Here social life takes place, events, markets and the Palio di Fucecchio take place. In 2021, Fucecchio was the arrival town of the second stage of the Giro d'Italia.

The square was originally known as “piazza d'armi” because it was used for the training of the Grand Ducal troops. It was also known as the “osteria” square, because on the south side there was an old hotel, the Corona hotel, which was documented as early as the early 15th century. However, this hotel was destroyed by bombing during World War II.
In the center of the square is a statue of Giuseppe Montanelli, a work by Raffaello Romanelli, which was unveiled on July 17, 1892. Giuseppe Montanelli was a writer, Freemason, patriot and Italian politician, and locals often call him “Caa Libri” because of the image of the statue that shows him with a stack of books behind him.
Other notable buildings on the square include the Palazzo Aleotti, located on the north side at the exit from ia Nelli, where the medieval Porta Bernarda once stood, and Palazzo Baschieri, on the east side.
