The restoration leaves intact the building and its interior and exterior, maintaining the existing floors and recovering the pictorial layers of the walls, which, after a process of light brushing reveal unexpected textures and complexity.

The only modifications to the building consist in resurfacing the cover, which showed the obvious phenomena of instability, with a new system of coverage in white tiles that make explicit replacement surgery, and the transformation in kithcen of a space used for storage.

The signs of time are for us a patrimony which we safeguard in all of our restoration and renovation.

The action of time give to the materials some imperfection which represent for us a sort of ornament that matter and in general the artifacts naturally possess.
