Atlas Modern insertions in via Volta

Along the west side of the Walled City there is a substantial number of interventions, dating from the second half of the 20th century, replacing the old fabric or saturating the still unbuilt lots. These modern exceptions were grafted onto the historical fabric from previous ages. They affect both the northern part of via Volta, the ancient district of Fontanile, originally a productive area, and the southern one, the ancient district of Porta Nuova, characterized by a compact building curtain of residences for the more affluent classes.
