Maybe, as someone says, it is a "magical" point. Historicaly it is called "Crocicchio delle Quattro pietre"( crossroad of the four stones), in the point where via Porta Palatina crosses via IV Marzo, before called Contrada delle Quattro Pietre and Contrada della Corona Grossa. The curious denomination takes origin from the stones, in truth big slabs putted in the middle of the road, that in earlier time wasn t asphalted and neither cobbled, with dust everywhere, that become mud under the rain. There were also drainage water that made problematic the overcross of the road therefore the four "stones" become very usefull.
