Implementing party
Project description
The project includes the redevelopment of the green area of the square and of the gardens along Viale Mazzini, following a safety logic in relation to the philology of the existing plants, with the planting of about 80 new trees (including Quercus ilex and Cupressus sempervires) and about 650 linear metres of new ornamental hedges (of Laurus nobilis and Pittosporum tobira), the arrangement of decorations, paving and flower beds.
