Here's where the road is:
Via Dante was opened starting in 1888 as a road link with the Sforza Castle, at the same time as the massive demolition work carried out in Piazza Duomo and Cordusio that redesigned the city centre. The new road was built according to the indications of the Beruto Plan of 1884, which in turn had referred to previous projects from the Napoleonic era. In the initial intentions, with the various building transformations of those years, the artery under construction should have constituted the ideal extension in the centre of the Sempione axis, built at the beginning of the nineteenth century, which would have passed over the Castle, the demolition of which was prevented by Luca Beltrami. Following the impressive restoration of the Castle carried out by Beltrami, starting in 1905 the road was closed in perspective by the reborn Filarete Tower, erected in memory of King Umberto I and whose first construction had collapsed following an explosion several centuries earlier.
