Great photo tours,Daniele,thank you.This is a message for European films passionate
These houses are the backdrop for some scenes of the 1955 film by Luchino Visconti's "Senso"
A Melodrama from a Boito novel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senso_(film)

Thanks very much, Daniele. I'd give anything to get on a plane tonight and go, but I'm in the middle of a semester (I teach Literature) and can't get away until the end of April. On the bright side, though, I get four months off for the spring and summer and have been considering taking my wife to Aix-en-Provence, where we have friends, for our 35th wedding anniversary. What a fantastic trip it would be to travel from there to the north of Italy in the springtime. Your description of the Italian squares may just force me to do it, as I'm afraid I'm a born daydreamer. I'll keep you posted on our plans, and thanks again.Good question RobertoTropicale.
I have two replies:
a) De Chirico has a fantastic, for real, exibithion actually in Ferrara until 28 February along with Carlo Carrà and some European artists of the same time. If you like him (I do) take a fly and come to visit. It will worth. I can give you some suggestions.
2) The Italian squares of any town or city have all, more or less, a metaphysical sense which is given, in my opinion, by the historically layered architecture that makes it timeless. There was also the new architecture, above all the Razionalismo during the 20' and 30' that implemented this kind of no time sensation.
For a film made in a wonderful place, remembering De Chirico, I suggest "L'amico di famiglia" di Paolo Sorrentino
Instead to dream come to visit.......
