Gardens after Napoleon
Napoleon demolishes the walls and launches a competition for the new urban form of the city without defenses. The winning project does not provide extensions but a 'large green belt for vegetable gardens: mulberry crops, maisons rurales neogotiche. Instead of Borgo Moschino a round river port.
The table of contest of Bonsignore, Boyer and Lombardi, is rich of details of furnishing of the enormous public space that was being created: arcades to the doors, triumphal arches, monuments. In Piazza San Carlo, a large fountain in Neptune.
