Piazza Cavour is a square in Rome, which is mostly residential and partially commercial. There are no real tourist attractions on Pizza Cavour, but it's possible that you might visit it for the annual book fair or pass through if you're doing a lot of walking in Rome. It's a useful route from the Vatican to the north eastern side of the city (Piazza del Popolo, Spanish Steps, Via del Corso etc).
Where is it?
It's located just off Via Crescenzo, which is a main street running from close to the Vatican Museum (Sistine Chapel) to Piazza Cavour. It's also just north of Via Triboniano which is the closest road running north from the bridge directly south of Piazza Cavour. If you're coming from the north of the city then you can reach by travelling south on the Via Lucrezio.
What's On It?
Well, not too much ...

It's one of my favourite piazza in Rome. This is a square full of people day and night, with restaurants and cafes surrounding it. The centre of the square is the Fountain of the Rivers with the obelisk and the Fountain of the Moor with the God of Sea. They are both created by the famous Italian sculptor in history - Bernini's . This place is getting popularity because of Dan Brown. For those Dan Brown's fans, may I remind you that this is the "water sign" in The Angels and Demons!
It's worth taking a short break there watching the day goes by. Another idea is to seat near to the fountain and enjoy the Italian galeto. This place is definitely the equivalent of Trafalgar square in London. ...

Advantages: Near to other attractions, great places to get lunch and coffee Disadvantages: Out of the way a bit.
Piazza del Popolo is north east of the city centre and located just above tourist attractions such the Spanish Steps and some great streets for shopping that the Italians frequently visit themselves. It's near to the mauseleum of Hadrian and just below a fantastic park, Borghese, that's great to eat lunch and relax in.
The squares name is derrived from the modern Italian for 'the peoples square'. The church that stands on one side of the square, Santa Maria del Popolo takes it's name from the historical context of the name of the square. The square itself is very large and has various features. The obelisk in the centre has a fascinating history; in 10 BC Augustus brought it to Italy from Egypt. It's theme is Rameses the second. Prior to living in the square it was located in the Cirucs Massimo, which was where chariot racing took ...
