This site of a former abattoir now contains housing and commercial premises to an urban plan by Aldo Rossi. Along the busy main road rises a 500 metre long megastructure, a tall monumental street elevation acting as a screen to the low-rise development in the district beyond. The main feature of this district built under the supervision of Studio di Architettura is the Galleria, a street sheltered by an original 19th-century steel roof and flanked by, among other things, a district council office and a school.
