On the left, the portico from Pinardi House to the present religious objects shop, on the corner of the building where Don Bosco's rooms are. In the background can be seen the former Audisio House (bombed during the war and rebuilt higher in 1954). On the right, can be seen the side portico of the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians (still without the second dome built over the sanctuary in the thirties) and across the yard the House of the Superior Council (which was later raised to two storeys).
