Historic Piscinola center

Although greatly altered in the period after the earthquake, the historic center of Piscinola still retains many interesting architectural relics of the past. The "island" which is defined by way of the Salvatore, Napoli Street and Miano street, is the oldest part, whose plant is perhaps coeval with the foundation of the church of SS. Salvatore, i.e. around the year 950. Surely the buildings rise in the area were made, to replace the previous artifacts, in later ages, between the 16th and 18th centuries.
