    This square used to be the political and commercial center of Piacenza. It owes its name (Piazza Cavelli) to two masterpieces by Francesko mochi, the Baroque equestrian statues** of Alexander and Ranuccio I Farnese. The gigantic structure that towers above the square is the Gotico**. To the left of the square rises the facade of the 13th century Chiesa di san Francesco, an interesting example of Gothic Franciscan architecture.

      Also called Piazza dei Cavalli, on its sides there are two statues sculpted in bronze by the Tuscan Francesco Mochi in 1620.

      The statue of Ranuccio, the client, who wears the clothes of a brave Roman with armor and skirt, is more static and composed, the statue of his father Alessandro is more lively and dynamic, a daring warrior depicted on the saddle of an impetuous steed with his mane blowing in the wind.
