The short street, which forms a sort of small square at the end of Via Cairoli, was called by popular imagination Piazza Padella (Frying Pan Square), where the handle would be the longer street and the receptacle the small square itself. On the northern side is a low portico that was once called Portico of the Thieves. In the past, this section of town was densely populated by artisans and poor families, as attested by the modest houses and the memory of the numerous taverns which were always busily frequented.
