Sights
Spearing off from Piazza Tasso, Corso Italia (closed to traffic from 7pm to 1am daily dur-
ing the summer, as well as from 10am to 1pm on Sundays and public holidays) cuts
through the
centro storico,
whose narrow streets throng with tourists on summer evenings.
An attractive area, it's thick with loud souvenir stores, cafes, churches and restaurants.
Chiesa di San Francesco
(Via San Francesco; 8am-1pm & 2-8pm)
The real attraction here is not the church but the
beautiful medieval cloister. A harmonious marriage of architectural styles - two sides are
lined with 14th-century crossed arches, the other two with round arches supported by oc-
tagonal pillars - it is often used to host exhibitions and summer concerts.
