Piazza dei Signori, also known as Piazza Dante, is a square located in the historic center of Verona. Since the Middle Ages, this square had political, administrative functions and for this reason, over the years, numerous buildings of historical and artistic importance have been built around it, connected to each other by arches and loggias. In 1865 in the center of the square was erected a monument dedicated to Dante, who for a period had been hosted in a building overlooking the square.
