  Boulevard de l'Hôpital
  Boulevard Auguste-Blanqui
  Avenue des Gobelins
  Avenue de la Sœur-Rosalie
  Avenue d'Italie
  Avenue de Choisy
  Rue Bobillot
  Rue Godefroy
  The town hall for the 13th arrondissement is on the Place d'Italie.
context_section_description: The center of the square is devoted to a small green-space.  Facing the Avenue d'Italie, there is a monument in memory of the Marshal of France, Alphonse Juin, completed by the architect, Henri Cantie, the sculptor, André Greck, and the foundryman, Daniel Landowski, in 1983.
  Two subway entrances, the works of Hector Guimard, have been registered in the supplemental list of historic places since 1978.
  At number 17 on the access road, Rue Godefroy, located between the Boulevard de l'Hôpital and the Boulevard Vincent Auriol, a plaque recalls that the Chinese premier, Chou En-lai lived on this site, then a modest rooming house, during his time in Paris, 1922 to 1924.
  In the small garden behind the municipal building for the arrondissement, there is a sculpture, "Return of the Prodigal Son", executed in 1964 by Ossip Zadkine.
  A large shopping mall whose modern look was designed by the famed architect, Kenzo Tange, is also located on the square. It is called Italie 2.
  The esplanade on the side of the mall nearest the Avenue d'Italie was named Place Henri-Langlois in 1995 to honor Henri Langlois, a French pioneer of the film archive movement.
