Works carried out in Villa Crosti-Colombo were strongly characterized by conservative restoration principles, in accordance with the complex history of the building and taking into consideration all evidences of the past free from personal or aesthetical censoring.
This particular project planning is therefore in contrast with a “restoration of the original state” or a“return to the antique splendour”, but endorses the value of materials as history witnesses in order to transmit recognizable features and a plurality of interpretations for the future.
