The project appears as the completion of the pedestrian area adjacent to the nearby Piazza della Rocca.
The area around the Porta will configure itself architecturally like a square. To respect the unitary value of the space, the pavement is studied with a unique material, Luserna stone.
The main intention is to properly interpret what belongs to the spirit of the place, taking into account the functional and the current user needs.
The movement of vehicles is maintained, allowing greater livability for pedestrians. A hornbeam becomes a symbol of this new area, which rediscovers its identity.
