public square
Usage Note
Piazza is an Italian loanword used in French to refer to an Italian-style public square or, more broadly, any large open plaza. It is less common than place for a generic square and tends to retain an Italian or architectural flavour. In French city planning, piazza sometimes names modern pedestrian plazas in shopping centres.
Examples
"Ils se sont retrouvés sur la piazza du centre commercial."
