Atlas Viale Cavallotti

The area remained free from buildings until the second half of the 19th century, when the reconfiguration of the mouth of the River Cosia offered the city an area for civilian gardens and monuments. The construction of viale Cavallotti, a continuation towards the lake of the avenues along the city walls, created a visual axis between the Tempio Voltiano and the Torre del Baradello. Along it a series of buildings from the first half of the 20th century, despite the variety of their architectural vocabulary, expresses the search for order and elegance in the city’s growth.
