PAVAGLIONE
Piazza Trisi

In front of the Rocca stands the Pavaglione, a unique structure of its kind which constitutes a formidable example of a natural shopping centre, designed and built over two centuries ago. The imposing quadriportico, designed by Giuseppe Campana from Ferrara, who grafted it onto the loggia built in the 16th century and completed it in 1783, was initially designed to accommodate the silkworm cocoon market, which was very flourishing at the time. In fact, it seems that the name derives from the Latin papilio or, according to others, from the French papillon.

The Pavaglione, today as in the past, hosts workshops, shops, fairs and, in addition to the Wednesday market with its six hundred years of history, hosts numerous spectacular events that enliven the city throughout the year, carrying on an ancient tradition. In fact, there is documentation of musical works created in this space since the end of the 17th century.

MONUMENT TO FRANCESCO BARACCA
Piazza Baracca

Right next to the Rocca stands the glorious Monument to Francesco Baracca, Italian aviation ace of the First World War. Commissioned immediately after the hero's death by a committee chaired by the Duke of Aosta, the work was entrusted to the eminent Faenza sculptor Domenico Rambelli.

If you have the opportunity to visit it in the evening, when the square is not excessively crowded, thanks to the clever lighting it will be easier to notice the balance of the three large geometric volumes made up of the statue, the base on which it rests and the large wing placed behind him. The planning of the monumental complex cost the sculptor over three years, the construction almost six, the work was inaugurated on 21 June 1936.

The bronze statue, approximately six meters high, is hoisted on a base, covered in Tivoli travertine, which bears the dates and locations of the aviator's victories. On the sides of the wing, also in travertine, are carved the symbols of the departments to which Baracca belonged in the Cavalry and Air Force: the Prancing Horse with the motto "Ad Majora" and the Hippogriff. The work is considered, by most critics, as one of the greatest expressions of twentieth-century Italian sculpture due to its expressive and symbolic power.

Sorge sul lato ovest del Pavaglione, e la sua posizione non è casuale, in quanto esistono documentazioni di numerosi eventi teatrali organizzati fin dalla metà del 1600 in una vicina zona del Prato della Fiera e nel loggiato cinquecentesco. Le parti principali della sua struttura sono state costruite nel biennio 1758 – 1760 su progetto di Ambrogio Petrocchi, mentre, a partire dal 1760, i lavori interni, quali la sistemazione del palcoscenico, della platea e dei palchi sono stati completati da Antonio Galli Bibiena. Oggi, il teatro,
intitolato a Gioacchino Rossini nel 1859, si propone ancora nella sua veste settecentesca, con l’austera facciata ripartita da lesene e marcapiani. All’interno, la sala è scandita da quattro ordini di palchi cui si aggiunge il loggione. Palcoscenico e cavea occupano uno spazio equivalente. Il recente restauro ha riportato alla luce alcune splendide decorazioni a stucco settecentesche.
