Piazza Santo Stefano is one of the symbolic places of Bologna, commonly considered a square, even if it is actually an open space originating from Via Santo Stefano and leading to the complex that bears the same name, also known as the “Seven Churches”.

Dominated by the Basilica of Santo Stefano, the square has on one side Casa Berti, Palazzo Isolani and Palazzo Bolognini Isolani, and, on the other, the 16th century Palazzo Bolognini Amorini Salina. 

Today the square is often used to host cultural events and concerts.
