Central square of Vasto, where the Palmieri Palace overlooks, a portion of the convex-looking Gisone district, up to Torre di Bassano; then to the south the Corso Italia opens with the old offices of the elementary schools, and to the west the facade of the church of the Addolorata. The square has an elliptical appearance as there was the Roman amphitheater, of which some remains can be seen under transparent glass at the outlet of Via Cavour, in Torre di Bassano.
At the center, surrounded laterally by four flowerbeds where there were palm trees, is the great monument to Gabriele Rossetti. The monument was built in 1926 thanks to the contribution of the Lions Club Vasto, inaugurated by the crown prince Umberto II of Savoy, in the urban redevelopment plan of the city, and designed by Filippo Cifariello. The monument rests on a stone base, stands vertically in a column, with the bronze lictorian eagle with spread wings at the top, the same recurring motif in the architrave of the Politeama Ruzzi. Above are bronze medallions with Gabriele's four children: Dante Gabriel, a pre-Raphaelite poet and painter, Christina Georgina, poet, William Michael. literary critic and curator of the paternal work, and Maria Francesca, conventual nun. The idealized statue of the standing poet who reads a book, made in the solemn model forms with which the monuments to Dante Alighieri were realized starting from Unity (Rossetti was one of the first modern exegetes of Dante's work) is found in front of the high base, with a commemorative inscription behind it.
