The project starts from the will of transforming Via Cornigliano into a new “Longitudinal Center” for the neighborhood, leaving an adequate space to strengthen its already rich commercial structure, while maintaining the requested public transportation systems.
Via Cornigliano will become a new “mall” that will not only connect the two sides of the neighborhood facing on it – and currently almost severed by the heavy traffic flow – but also will include the 18th century Villa Bombrini, recently reclaimed as a main reference for the community.
