Parc Dante stretches west of the church, with the place of honour in its centre occupied by a modest bust of the Italian poet, sculpted by Carlo Balboni in 1924. Neighbourhood bocci ball lovers meet here in the course of the summer time months. Bourne, the place there are some fine examples of Queen Anne-style homes.
