Statua Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena Piazza Martiri della Libertà (L. Corevi, Comune di Pisa)
In this square you could find the farmers' market, or, in the afternoon, many children playing. Benches and plane trees surround it and in the centre there is a statue of a gentleman, do you know who he is? Pietro Leopoldo dei Lorena (1747 - 1792) who was Grand Duke of Tuscany from 1761 to 1792.

To find out what Pietro Leopoldo dei Lorena did for the city, get closer to observe the bas-reliefs in the base below him. What do you think they tell? Try giving titles! (Answer 1 a the bottom of the page)
