Conceived as the centerpiece of a retail development and a site for festivals, especially for people of Italian heritage, the Piazza d’Italia originally included a temple-shaped pergola, a triumphal arch of painted stucco over a steel frame, a campanile (now demolished), and a set of curved colonnades as a backdrop to a pool surrounding an “island” in the shape of Italy. The pastel-colored columns of the colonnade each represent different classical orders.
