Description:
Motivating by increasing needs of the University Residential Centre and for pilgrims lodgings for those walking the Via Roma of the Bidente, the restoration project began in 1998. Careful analyses of architectural developments were carried out and post-war interventions removed. Architectural elements were restored, vegetation typology restored and technical and mechanical supports integrated without affecting the monument's features.
