In front of the church there is piazza della chiesa, which was entirely realized with the granite from the quarries of San Piero in the Elba Island. The pavements of the little alley garnished with flowers which spread within the buildings of Sant’Ilario are made with granite so as the doors, the cornices and the balconies.
