Urban scenography for the Roman archeological area of Turin

The Roman archeological area of the city of Turin corresponds to the northern edge of the Roman city and has its architectural climax in the Roman northern city door. This latter was included into medieval buildings and disappeared as an urban object until the end of the 19th century, when it was eventually “extracted” by demolishing the building in which was embedded. Once “liberated”, the Roman city door was also largely rebuilt to attain a more or less idealized original condition.
