The 200,000 square meters area located between the Piazza della Repubblica and Porta Garibaldi Train Station, has remained at ruin level, and undeveloped, since the years after the World War II. In 1991 it has been finally the subject of an International Competition with a selection procedure.

The project plans the extension of a large public space throughout the entire length of the area.

The buildings connect parts of the city that has been separated by the war’s bombing, in a continuous harmonious design.
