The scene takes place on a sunny day in a large public square

The scene takes place on a sunny day in a large public square. The ground is paved with cobblestones. A prominent red building with multiple floors and white-framed windows forms a backdrop to the square. At ground level, there are covered walkways with columns, housing cafes and restaurants with tables and chairs under white umbrellas. A multitude of people are scattered around the square; some are walking, others are standing in groups, and a few are sitting on the ground. Some pigeons are visible on the ground. The sky is a clear blue.
