06 - Garibaldi Square
Even the current main square of the town dates back to the 19th century. In 1890 the engineer Falasconi realized the zoning plan of Fermignano. The project included a big square together with palaces, arcades, and streets at right angles. Falasconi had studied at the university of Turin, so probably he took inspiration from that city. At the end of the 19th century the church of San Pietro was demolished together with the tower of the clock on the top of the major way of the castle. Horse chestnut and linden trees were planted in the street that went from the main square to the station.
At the beginning of the 20th century in the Garibaldi square the Aliventi and Gentilini loggias were built. Here the market took place and there were also the worker’s houses. A slow but continuous building movement started along the main provincial road also known as “Toscana” (via Mazzini), viale Umberto I (Martiri della Libertà), behind Garibaldi square, along via Veneto, Roma and various crosspieces. During that period the population was about 3086 people.
The School palace was designed in 1883 by the engineer Adamo Frisoni. The main hall, at the bottom floor was used as a theater, named after Donato Bramante.
