The enormous open space, Piazza del Plebiscito,
Naples' grandest piazza, is a sunny spot in the
heart of Naples, known for its tight, narrow
streets and population density. Piazza del
Plebiscito gets its name from the plebiscite held
here in October, 1860, which annexed the Bourbon
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which ruled all of
southern Italy, to the Savoys, officially uniting
the country to become the Kingdom of Italy.
Previously, the piazza was known as Largo del
Palazzo, for the dominating Palazzo Reale, the
Bourbon's royal palace

A curving colonnade embraces the piazza, similar
to the great colonnade of Bernini in St. Peter's
Square in Rome, giving an intimate feeling to the
spacious square. The piazza is slightly slanted,
and its overall effect is of an opera-like
theatrical setting, which is appropriate since it
is the stage for concerts and civic events
throughout the year. The piazza is home to some
of the city's main monuments Basilica of San
Francesco da Paola, the royal palace and the twin
pastel palaces, Palazzo della Prefettura and
Palazzo Salerno. Two bronze equestrian statues

term derived from Arabic.) Vowels at the end of
words are cut short far removing it from the
sound of recognisable forms of Italian
