Tips for Visiting Piazza Malpighi #
- Head to the piazza just after the university lectures end (late morning) to catch students spilling into cafés - a good moment to overhear impassioned debates.
- Study the façade of nearby buildings for plaques referring to Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694); the area rewards anyone who pays attention to small commemorations.
- If photographing, use a telephoto to compress the colonnades and the tower in the background - the scene tightens into something unexpectedly cinematic.
