< <strong>in</strong>terpretation><br />

Those are the steps back I took for my <strong>analysis</strong>, the rst one<br />

will stay as a reference po<strong>in</strong>t. In the second step is nice<br />

to see the expansion of the city’s borders. From 1905 to<br />

1953 I focused on 4 ma<strong>in</strong> po<strong>in</strong>ts that are <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g for<br />

the changes <strong>in</strong> the spatial network of the actual city. First<br />

one the open<strong>in</strong>g of one of the ma<strong>in</strong> streets <strong>in</strong> the center,<br />

second another new street <strong>in</strong> the central area, third a rst<br />

expansion of the ma<strong>in</strong> square <strong>and</strong> nally the ultimate expansion<br />

of this fascist square.<br />

Here I just have a dierent visualization of the city’s steps,<br />

try<strong>in</strong>g to po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g out the street’s network,<strong>in</strong> black we have<br />

open areas, while <strong>in</strong> white are the built areas. From 1722 to<br />

1953 we can see an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> complexity of the network<br />

<strong>and</strong> an expansion of the city’s border.<br />

The city center is characterized by tight streets. e ma<strong>in</strong><br />

road go<strong>in</strong>g around the city k<strong>in</strong>d of closes the city <strong>in</strong> 1722,<br />

while <strong>in</strong> future years this disappear but the ma<strong>in</strong> road rema<strong>in</strong>s<br />

visible <strong>and</strong> dened.<br />
