The paving stones are honeycomb-shaped! Author Giuseppe Di Lampedusa's family home gave onto this piazzetta. It was destroyed by an American bomb during WWII, rebuilt and now, just recently, turned into apartments. There used to be a water tower and fountain here that brought icy cold water from the mountains, and thirsty aristocrats would send their servants to fetch it, no need for ice in your glass. The enormous Palazzo Branciforte is also in the neighborhood. Off Via Bara all'Olivella.
