Talk:Piazza del Campo

Untitled
I removed this: "It replaced the original fountain with a statue of the goddess Venus. This pagan statue was blamed for an outbreak of the Black Plague. The statue was destroyed and buried outside the city walls to avert its "evil influence"." In actual fact, virtually nothing is known of the first fountain that was replaced by Jacopo della Quercia's. Irresponsible myth-making. I've added notes and references and more detail. --Wetman 22:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Shell-shaped
"Shell-shaped" doesn't really evoke an image. Shells come in tens of thousands of shapes, some very weird indeed. Looking at its form, with its striped paving, I guess what is meant is the common scallop, so unless someone objects I'll go ahead and say so.Campolongo (talk) 09:49, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
