Restoration of Consulate building’s façades

The works are concerned with the restoration of the exterior façades of the building that hosts the Spanish Consulate in Rome. The building apparently was restored in the thirties on the base of the original structure, whose tracks have been lost and that seemed to belong to Ferdinando Fuga. The restoration works started with an archival, historical research about the building to go on with the structural integrity analysis of all the architectural elements.

This allowed us to draw up a restoration project that defined all the detailed interventions that had to be made, and to obtain, in the end, the authorization by the “Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali”. Following the stratigraphic analysis of the wall surface, we carried on with the renovation of all exterior plasters, to remove then all the pictorial and plaster layers, repair the cracks in the walls and recover the damaged architectural elements. We carried out an accurate inspection of the water drainage system.

We completed the work by going through the restoration of all decorative elements, such as window frames, shields, portals and cornices.
