Architectural design

From the architectural point of view the Via Po reveals interesting proportions: the width of the roadway, of 18 meters is equal to the height of the façades of the buildings and thus defines a square section. Also the arcades section is squared. The uniform design of the façades resumes in a more austere tone those in Piazza San Carlo. The rhythm of the empty and full spaces became clearer and the stucco decorations are eliminated.

The scheme of the porticoed façade is compared with that of the other protected parts of the center, in the beautiful work of Coppo and Davico in 2001
