The Central Courtyard with the Pyramid

For the masonry, Franco Maria Ricci and Pier Carlo Bontempi agreed that the great architects of the French Revolution would be their reference points. They included Boullée, Ledoux, Lequeu and the Italian Antolini who conceived a visionary design for the Bonaparte Forum in Milan (it was never built, but it has reached our times in the form of a book written by Bodoni). Whilst with a more low-key approach, Bontempi designed and constructed the walls bearing those dreams, those utopias, in mind.
