Piazza Vittorio Emanuele

Fodor's Review:

In town, head straight for Via Roma, which leads to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, the center of Enna's shopping scene and evening passeggiata. The attached Piazza Crispi, dominated by the shell of the grand old Hotel Belvedere, affords breathtaking panoramas of the hillside and smoking Etna looming in the distance. The bronze fountain at the center of the piazza is a reproduction of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's famous 17th-century sculpture The Rape of Persephone, a depiction of Hades abducting Persephone.
