Piazza Maggiore and Neptune Fountain, Bologna

Piazza Maggiore was built as a market square in the 13th century, but its current appearance dates back to the 15th century. The following buildings surround the piazza: the Palazzo dei Notai, the Palazzo d'Accursio (Palazzo Comunale), which houses the Bologna Civic Art Collections and the Museo Morandi, the Palazzo del Podestà, the Palazzo dei Banchi, and the Basilica of San Petronio, whose construction began in 1390 and was completed unfinished 300 years later due to a lack of funds.Right next to it is Piazza Nettuno, with the Fountain of Neptune and the Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio. If you look at the statue of Neptune from the back right at a certain angle, the outstretched fingers, as seen from the front, form a penis.Every summer, the piazza hosts a cinema under the stars, where you can watch films until late into the night.
