Of Michelangelo Garove from Archivio di Stato di Torino
The first project for the town’s occidental enlargement
At the beginning of XVIII century, a wester town enlargement was supposed with the moving of walls and the late finalization of almond, an elliptical defensive system, due to the proximity of Citadels. The project was given to Michelangelo Garove who provided for the allotment of isolates using land for the installation of private construction. The axis of via Patte and del Senato (the present via del Carmine and Corte d'Appello) were valorized. The Garove plan didn’t introduce any square inside the new enlargement.
In the Garavone's project of 1711 we can see the new allotment between the fortifications to be dismantled and the new defensive structure
