Above And Below

In this little piazza, Piazzale Aldo Moro, I think it was originally a car park, then they recontructed the whole area, it took a really long time and turned it into university compound with restaurants and shops.

During the contruction work, it was found that underneath the surface were hidden fragments of history, the remains of the foundations of the barracks of the cavalry of Carlo Emanuele I, and a large portion of one of the seventeenth century walls built to defend the city.

Inside this 'big hole' overlooking the city's landmark 'La Mole', the portion of the old wall is visible.
