Piazza del Liberty, Milan

Piazza del Liberty is a pedestrian square located along Via San Paolo, one block north of the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, some 3 blocks north east of the Duomo in central Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy.

The piazza was created in part in the space after the destruction of the Teatro Milanese during the Allied bombardment in 1943, and takes its name from the Art Nouveau (Liberty style) facade decoration of one of its buildings.

The facade was repurposed for the monumental building or Palazzo della Società Reale Mutua di Assicurazioni Torino, built on the north of the piazza.

At the western end, above he stage is a fountain with a series parallel spouts aimed at tall glass plates.

A stairwell, flanked by the mirrored fountains, descends to the modern subterranean Apple store.
