Piazza Saint Bon Live Cam

Origins and Urban Planning

Piazza Saint Bon stands as a testament to late 19th-century urban vision in La Spezia, conceived in 1884 to serve as the principal junction between Via XX Settembre, Via Nino Bixio and Via Fiume. Named in honor of the minister Saint Bon—who drafted the original master plan for the Umbertino quarter—this open square was deliberately designed to facilitate traffic flow, commercial activity, and social gathering in one of La Spezia’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
