Borgo San Salvario Torino

In the Enlargement Plan of 1851, emerges the will to create a large urban park. Work began in the 1960s, partly on the redesign of the Valentino Castle park, by the French architect Barillet-Deschamps. The project is inspired by the typical landscape park, or "English style", provides avenues, groves, artificial valets, a small gallop and a pond, then dried up, which was used in winter as "patinoire". Inside there are some sports facilities, the oldest: the headquarters of the Gymnastics Society of Italy (1844), the headquarters of the rowing club Cerea (1863), the cycle club Veloce Club (1882). In 1884 the medieval village was built.
