Of Beltramo Antonio Re from Ada Peyrot, Vittorio Viale, Immagini di Torino nei secoli, Torino 1973
The city in the mid-18th century
The Turin map of 1751 includes the extensions of the western part of the city. The blocks of the new, third extension are completed, from the Juvarrian military quarters to the Piazza Susina, while those to the east of the square, of medieval layout, are still partly to be aligned along the main axis of Via Corte d'Appello. In via Milano only the first part is completed, Porta Palazzo and the first two blocks behind the square. Via and Piazza Palazzo di Città still await the intervention of Alfieri, while Via Garibaldi, at least in the map, appears already rectified. However, it will be necessary to wait until the last decades of the eighteenth century to see its completion.
In the map of B.A.Re of 1751, the isolates are distinguished by the names of the saints, a custom that will be maintained throughout the century.
