View of the Casino del Caffé in Parma

Not on view

Design by Ennemond Alexandre Petitot for the Casino del Caffé in Parma. The building is represented very much as it was executed and still exists today. The main difference can be found in the protruding staircases on the left and right side of the building, which were not executed as such. With this project Petitot introduced a new way of city planning in Italy, following the French model of placing a public coffee house in the central axis of the newly laid boulevard.
