This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 1755000. The project concerns the conservative restoration and enhancement of the façades of the former slaughterhouse and the Campo Boario, including their monumental entrances. Currently, these façades show signs of degradation due to their state of neglect. Restoration activities will be conducted in a philological manner, following the original design. Layers in good condition will be maintained, and the consolidation of superficially damaged parts will be carried out with compatible materials. Artistic lighting will be provided to highlight the monumental entrance with the sculptural group of the Tauromachia, thereby contributing to the aesthetic enhancement of the area.
