The Oratory of San Cristoforo is a deconsecrated former Roman Catholic church or chapel located at the chamfered corner of Vie Gregorio X and Angelo Genocchi, in the north-central sector of the historic center of Piacenza, Italy. It rises a block North West of the former Chiesa Sacro Cuore (Gesu) erected by the Jesuits and now housing the Teatro Gioia. The oratory presently houses an exposition space and museum named the Piccolo Museo della Poesia (Small Museum of Poetry). The centralized structure was once known as the Oratorio della Morte (Oratory of Death) because it belonged to the confraternity of the same name, a group that subsidized the burial and memorial rites of its members. The architect was the Duchal architect, Domenico Valmagina. The elaborate interior was frescoed with quadratura by Ferdinando Galli Bibiena. In an 1842 inventory, the church had an altarpiece depicting the Virgin and St Gregory by Roberto da Longe. A confraternity, previously dedicated to St Cristopher, was previously based first at the church of Santa Maria dell’Argine Church since 1260, and in the 16th Century it was fused with the Confraternity della Morte which had moved to San Silvestro Church, next to a Benedictine order monastery. In 1686 this structure was commissioned, with patronage from Conte Roncovieri, and inaugurated in 1690. During the Napoleonic invasion, the church was closed, and only reopened for cult later in the 19th century. Restorations did not start until 1960s, and the building was reopened in 2003. Since September 2020 it has been home to the museum of poetry.

Piazza Cavalli is one of the oldest and main public squares in the historic center of the city of Piacenza, Italy. Once called Piazza Grande, it competes with the Piazza del Duomo, located some 4 blocks southeast for prominence. This square, unlike the latter, is mainly ringed by secular buildings relating to the political and business community. The piazza spaces here are irregular, lined to the northwest by the former city hall, the Palazzo Gotico, which is flanked to the south in a recessed fashion by the present city hall, the Palazzo del Collegio dei Mercanti. Along the east of the recess are two modern buildings, till one arrives to the contiguous open space east of the piazza before the church of San Francesco. To the north of the piazza rises the large neoclassic-style Palazzo del Governatore. The two equestrian statues that give the piazza its name are astride of facade of the Palazzo Gotico. The statues were designed by Francesco Mochi and commissioned on occasion of the arrival to Piacenza of Margherita Aldobrandini, the wife of Ranuccio I Farnese. The cost of the bronze statues was then 44,107 Roman scudi (presumably 7200 lira reggiana). The statue of Ranuccio was erected in 1620, and the statue of his father Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma (1545-1592) in 1624. The steed of the former horseman, who acquired a reputation as a brutal tyrant, appears tamed relative to that of Alessandro. The bas-reliefs at Alessandro's base depict military service of the Duke performed with Catholic armies: the [[ Fall of Antwerp|capture of Antwerp]] in 1585 and relieving the Siege of Paris (1590). The base of Alessandro's statue has an allegory of good government.
