In Naples, Castel Nuovo overlooks Piazza Municipio, where locals and tourists gather to admire its equestrian statue and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.

Travel back in time with a vintage photo capturing Perugia's Piazza del Municipio circa 1910. The image transports you to an era when horse-drawn carriages filled these historic squares.

Lastly, we journey southward towards Messina in Sicily—an enchanting destination where ancient ruins meet modern life seamlessly within their municipios' walls.
