Square of the People
The origin of the name of the Square of the People in Rome it is uncertain: there is an etymology that derives "people" from the Latin populus (poplar), on the basis of the tradition that there was, in the area, a grove of poplars pertaining to the tomb of Nero, which was nearby.
It is historical news, however, that Pope Paschal II had a chapel built close to the walls, at the expense of the Roman people (the one on which the present church of Santa Maria del Popolo would later rise): the Madonna was the people, the People became the square.
