An ongoing working relationship caring for a monumental complex: from the Basilica façade to the roofs, from decorative features to sacred furnishings.

Since 2016 the studio has supported the Archconfraternity of Saints Ambrose and Charles of the Lombard Nation in managing its monumental properties along Via del Corso: the Basilica, Palazzo del Claustro, Palazzo Vitelli and the adjoining buildings. It is a continuous commitment combining in-depth knowledge of the complex, planning of works and a constant presence on site.

The restoration project for the Basilica façade, based on a complete laser-scan survey, is now being carried out in agreement with the Special Superintendence of Rome.
