Nowadays it has extended, following the agricultural territory according to the environment.- This duality between urban and natural structures belongs also to our project area. Viale Castello is located between the end of the Southern part of the town and the Swabian-Angevin castle. Along the road you can see the agricultural landscape.- This is the reason why the architectural project highlighted the potentiality and the amenities of this natural scenery.- Our idea is based on the union of the cultivation design with the cultural one, creating a promenade that links the landscape values with the urban ones in just a ground design.- The road to the castle has to became a promenade where art and landscape are married.
