Il terzo Ampliamento barocco Torino

Vittorio Amedeo II, king of Sicily, meets the architect Filippo Juvarra and calls him to Turin to redesign the image of the capital. Juvarra resumes the plan for the northwest area studied by Michelangelo Garove. The seventeenth-century grid of the blocks remains unchanged: a central square is added, the Piazza Susina (current Piazza Savoia), crossed by the main axis of the Via del Carmine which will end to the west in the new gate of the "Military Districts"; on the other side of the square, the axis continues in via del Senato, inside the ancient city. The central Piazza Susina thus joins the "old city" to that of new construction.
