The redevelopment of central Bologna in the early 20th century. Everything here (minus the towers) was built between c.1915 and 1927

Within the early twentieth century, it was determined to demolish the central neighbourhood of Mercato di Mezzo, recognized for its dense alleyways and towers, in an effort to create a sequence of extensive avenues and grand concourses. Architects have been inspired to experiment with quite a few types, together with artwork nouveau, eclecticism, revivalism, vernacular and rationalism.
