Piazza C.L.N. is a 1930s Rationalist-style square in central Turin, Italy, located behind the twin churches of Piazza San Carlo. Known for its two distinctive fountain statues representing the Po and Dora Riparia rivers, it was designed by Marcello Piacentini and named after the National Liberation Committee.

Piazza C.L.N. in Turin is most famously known as a filming location for Dario Argento’s 1975 horror masterpiece Profondo Rosso (Deep Red), where it features the protagonist’s apartment and the “Blue Bar”. The square is central to the plot, featuring the Fontana del Po, where characters Marc and Carlo have key dialogues. The “Blue Bar,” inspired by Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, was constructed in the square for the film. Other films that used this location include La donna della domenica (Sunday Woman) (1970s), Torino violenta (Double Game) (1970s), and Tutti giù per terra (We All Fall Down) (1990s).
