A beautiful fountain, called “Fontana dei Pescatori”, will sit at the North end of the Piazza and the East side of the Piazza will host “The Waterfront Trellis”. The waterfront shade trellis will offer an open space to sit and enjoy a coffee or lunch and watch the ships pass through the Port of Los Angeles.
On the East side of the Piazza will be located the “Beacon Steps”. This terraced seating will be a great location to meet, watch, and relax.
This Piazza is meant as a gathering spot for all the ethnic groups in San Pedro and surrounding communities and we hope that it will become a place where we will all enjoy a slice of La Dolce Vita for many years to come.”
