Lonely Planet review

Flanked by grand neoclassical colonnades, Piazza della Repubblica was laid out as part of Rome's postunification makeover. It follows the lines of the semicircular exedra (benched portico) of Diocletian's baths complex and was, in fact, originally known as Piazza Esedra. The Fontana delle Naiadi, in its centre, was designed by Mario Rutelli and features a central figure of Glaucus wrestling a fish, surrounded by four naiads or water nymphs.

Spearing off the piazza, Via Nazionale heads downhill towards Piazza Venezia. A busy shopping street, its crowded pavements are lined with imposing late-19th-century palazzi .
