Slide 5: 

Scala di Santa Maria del Monte - This long flight of steps connects the old (at the top) city, the seat of the religious authority, and the new one, where most public offices are located. On either side of this axis lie the two old quarters of San Giorgio and San Giacomo, characterized by narrow streets and concealing fine, mostly religious, buildings. Scara cu 142 de trepte (Santa Maria del Monte) face legãtura între oraşul vechi (situat în partea de sus), sediu al autoritãţii religioase, şi oraşul nou unde au fost construite majoritatea clãdirilor administrative. Pe cele douã pãrţi ale axei formate de scara monumentalã se aflã cartierele San Giacomo şi San Giorgio cu strãzile lor înguste mãrginite de clãdiri frumoase, majoritatea fiind edificii bisericeşti
