The regeneration project of Parco del Valentino has been structured into progressive implementation phases to revitalize one of Turin’s most iconic green spaces.
Phase 1 focused on the stretch along Viale Mattioli, between the Promotrice delle Belle Arti and Viale Virgilio, officially inaugurated on 20 December 2024.
The current phase 2 extends to Viale Crivelli axis, connecting the Borgo Medievale to the Castello del Valentino, and included the riverfront area of kiosks.
The masterplan aims to enhance pedestrian continuity, improve environmental quality, and reinforce the park’s cultural-historical identity. Each intervention integrates ecological principles, including soil regeneration and increased permeability, while respecting the park’s heritage value. The project underscores a model of urban green regeneration that strengthens biodiversity, accessibility, and sustainable public use, setting a precedent for future landscape restoration in urban contexts.
The redevelopment of Parco del Valentino, conceived as a connecting element between the urban fabric and the grandeur of the Po River, echoes the municipal project for the river’s revitalization – also in terms of navigability – a symbol of nature entering the city as a driving force for socio-economic rebirth and a true infrastructure combined with the city’s green spaces.
