Located near the modern Via Circo, these fragments—primarily sections of the curved southern wall—offer a rare glimpse into Milan’s Roman past.

L.O.V.E., the striking sculpture in Milan’s Piazza degli Affari, is one of Maurizio Cattelan’s most iconic and provocative works. The massive marble hand—often nicknamed “Il Dito”—shows all fingers severed except the middle one, pointed defiantly toward the façade of the Italian Stock Exchange.
