Of Mario Passanti from Mario Passanti Architettura in Piemonte
he two axes of the north-west expansion, via di Porta Palazzo and via del Senato, intersect and connect with the administrative center, the Palazzo del Comune, ideally joining the Porta Susina with the road to Milan. In Juvarra’s overall design for the city, the 1729 straightening projects will find the necessary integration into the 1736 Dora Grossa measure. Later, Alfieri’s project for Piazza delle Erbe will complete the design of the northwest area. The entire urban policy of the eighteenth century will base the restructuring process along privileged axes, encouraging entrepreneurial initiative and completing a project of strong unity, on a large scale.
In the book by Mario Passanti, the scheme highlights the new route of Via Milano that rectifies the previous and also the confluence of the Juvarrian axes on the Piazza Palazzo di Città.
