The campo was (and still is) a vital part of everyday life, serving as a market square, forum, and children's playground. The fields, or campi, tilled for fruit and vegetables in the past and even used as graveyards, were paved over sometime during the Renaissance. The square has a well in the middle and a church looking over it, giving us a glimpse of the Renaissance look of the city. The church of Saint Silvestro, from which the square is named, was the seat of the wine merchants' guild established in 1505. The original medieval church gave its place to the one seen now, built in the neoclassical style. The facade was executed in 1909 by Giuseppe Sicher, while the statue of Saint Silvestro in the niche above the door is from the 17th century. The two remaining paintings of the first church are Tintoretto’s Baptism of Christ and Saint Thomas Becket Enthroned by Girolamo da Santacroce.
