L'ANGOLO DELLE ORE

In the heart of Novara's historic centre, between corso Italia, with corso Mazzini, corso Cavour and corso Cavallotti is the famous Hours Corner, so called because in the nineteenth century there was a tower with a clock, where in Roman times the cardo and decumanus met and where a few centuries ago the people of Novara would meet at noon to set their clocks on the tolling of the one placed in Palazzo Natta.

It is said that four different clocks are placed at this corner today and, according to tradition, none of these clocks mark the correct time... when we visited Novara we only uncovered one, how many clocks have you managed to find?
