  Forse si. Con le due bellissime statue all'ingresso, i portici all'interno, la statua di bronzo nel centro, i caffè storici sotto i portici. Un capolavoro.  more »

  Maybe it is. With the two beautiful statues at the entrance, the porches inside, the bronze statue in the center, the historic cafes under the arcades. A masterpiece.
