Restoration Facades Palazzo del Quirinale

The project involves the philological restoration and enhancement of the facades of the Quirinal Palace. The situation was critical from the point of view of the first surface layer and then the plaster; the first approach was to intervene by means of a consolidation of the plasters and chromatic integration. The main objective of the plastering is to leave the reading of the architectural parts unchanged in their entirety, all in full respect of the original Baroque period. The restoration of the facades has, in fact, restored the ancient painting of the building, recovered from a careful study of the prints and reproductions of the period. The wooden windows that had been added at the beginning of the century have been replaced; as they were not functional shutters, poorly reduced and in stark contrast to the vintage images of the façade. The restoration work also involved the travertines and stuccoes that decorate the building.
