The square is strongly characterized by the design of two trapezoidal areas bribes and aligned along the midline springing orientation plan of the Chapel of St. Rocco. The trapezoidal area west maintains the current slope of the square which follows the course of the roads from north to south. This was driven by the decision to maintain the historic row of lime trees. The share of the area to the east, however, remains constant for all its extension. This duality creates orientation plans along the line dividing a gradient that gradually becomes more marked down to the Chapel of San Rocco. The middle line has a strong project since it performs the dual function of merge and split. The project redefines and further develops the limits of intervention, recomposing the lost unity of the existing open spaces. The goal is to transform the current sequence of spaces in one field unit of aggregation with strong pedestrian where cars cross the square and respectful slowed nell'automobilista creating awareness to cross a place frequented by pedestrians and turning the situation current where the dominant presence of the car makes marginal use of space by people on foot. This design choice also allows reconnection function of the churchyard of the Church of the square turning spaces, with no recognizable identity, the connection node and in the center of community life in the country.
