The stands offer a great variety of artistic creations, such as small characters or tools, and types of chocolate, all of high quality. Tourist packages are designed to guarantee spa treatments and tastings at the stands, offering a unique and unforgettable stay. In the square you can also visit the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, dating back to the 13th century.
