building restoration

The restauration of the Archive and the B.V. Annunciata Church

Design assumptions for the Summer Chapter and for the Vestibule

The complex of buildings of the Chiesa of Annunciata and the building of the old Sale capitolari is a very rare finding both for antiquity, the specific qualities and the absence of interventions that have forever altered the features, both for the availability of abundant archival sources that allow its full understanding. The whole is now in extremely critical condition and present situations of widespread destruction. The vast countryside finding and diagnostics in recent years has allowed us to acquire the knowledge to a conscious restoration and future conservation planning and disseminate an illustrated volume.

The ultimate goal of the specific actions of extraordinary rehabilitation was complete restoration and enhancement of the building, to ensure the protection of present goods and the ability to access the archive and library researchers and visitors. The entire premises would thus become an even more attractive and charming, the rationalization of space would create a display area for a selection of art collections, the church hall will once again regain his dignity and security such as for the crypt, made accessible for the historic town memories, such as the pathological and anatomical collections which would host a permanent laboratory study. Finally, the first-floor rooms with magnificent views of the courtyard of the University, will host the exhibition of the history collections care hospital.
