Some other less successful piazzas are the Piazza Venezia, the Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele and the Piazza Termini.
The Piazza Venezia is organized around three sides of commercial buildings with pedestrian sidewalks and a ring of car traffic with a monument to Vittorio Emmanuele on the fourth side. In the center, inside the ring of traffic, is a grassy mound cut through with a crosswalk that connects two sides of the piazza. The piazza is difficult to navigate as a pedestrian, as cars drive quite quickly through and the streets are wide. The grassy mound in the center of the piazza is unoccupied except for people crossing, and the piazza has a strong focus in the monument but the monument itself is fenced off and isn’t accessible.
The Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele similarly places too much emphasis on car traffic at the expense of walking. The only friendly place for walkers is the ring of porticos that border the piazza, otherwise the center, an overlarge and mostly undivided green space is divided from sidewalks by busy streets, tram lines, and a fence that only allows for two points of access. The space is not used nearly as much as it could be, and it seems it could be fairly easily addressed by continuing the street through the park and pushing the green space of the piazza to the porticos.
The Piazza Termini, like the other two piazzas, suffers from an emphasis on the buses and taxis that pass through. For one coming out of the station and trying to walk to somewhere else or trying to find a bus, the space seems chaotic and disorganized. There is some green space, but nowhere could you stop and sit while waiting for a train or a bus unless you went to a café in a nearby building.
