Piazza d'Italia

Postmodernism at its most theatrical — a classical Italian piazza recreated in neon and pastel for New Orleans' Italian community.

Why this matters

Map of Italy in the floor; Sicily marks the center for the local immigrant origin
Five orders of column (including a "delicatessen order" with sausage capitals)
Once derelict and graffiti-covered; restored 2004
Frequently cited as the canonical postmodern public space
