Piazza
Catcher's famous surname
A piazza is an open public square, especially in Italian cities: We met at the piazza near the cathedral.
The word entered English through Italian and retains that association with Mediterranean town centers.
In some American usage, particularly in the South, piazza refers to a covered porch or veranda.
