Whole artwork view. Light blue headline over a detail of the map of Turin, engraved in 1682 from the 1674 drawing by Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio for the Theatrum Statuum Sabaudiae, published in 1984 and edited by Luigi Firpo; the ambitious project, undertaken by Duke Carlo Emanuele II of Savoy in the XVII Century, involved the reproduction of cities, lands and places of his Duchy; this table's detail focuses on the north-east part of the city, with the bastions overlooking the Dora river, on the top, the squared Piazza Castello in the middle, below the Royal Palace, the Royal gardens and the cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
