Piazzi is a lunar crater that is located near the southwestern limb of the Moon, and is attached to the southeast rim of the Lagrange walled plain. About three crater diameters to the south is the Inghirami crater. Piazzi crater is observed at a low angle from the Earth, and it appears oblong due to foreshortening. Latitude, sometimes denoted by the Greek letter φ, gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the Equator. ... Map of Earth showing lines of longitude, which appear curved and vertical in this projection, but are actually halves of great circles Longitude, sometimes denoted by the Greek letter λ, describes the location of a place on Earth east or west of a north-south line called the Prime Meridian. ...

As with Lagrange, this formation has been heavily modified by the ejecta from the formation of the Mare Orientale impact basin to the northwest. This material has formed radial valleys and ridges across the surface of these craters. The interior floor of Piazzi has dark patches of low albedo along the northeastern rim. The outer rim of the crater is irregular and eroded, and a few small craters lie within the uneven interior. 1967 photograph made by NASAs Lunar Orbiter 4 Like a target ring bulls-eye, the lunar mare Mare Orientale (the eastern sea) is one of the most striking large scale lunar features. ...

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Piazzi crater.
