The plan of the late eighteenth century describes the city

The map of Ignazio Amedeo Galletti of 1790 represents with great detail the baroque city, still circumscribed by the bastion. There are the "straight" projects of 1729 of the districts of Porta Palazzo and Via di Porta Susina (Via Milano, Corte d'Appello and del Carmine), Via Dora Grossa (Via Garibaldi), from 1736 and Via and Piazza Palazzo di Città, from 1756. All the great works carried out mostly in the second half of the century are highlighted, as well as the most representative buildings of the city and the sovereign power. You can also find religious and military buildings, the existing gardens: a true photograph of the city just before the Napoleonic transformations.
