Restoration of façades

The project to restore the façades of the eastern wing of Medici castle in Melegnano, under the responsibility of the Province of Milan, welcomes the principles of conservation, and integrates the transmissibility of the architectural heritage thanks to a series of measures to arrest the process of decay limited to the degraded parts. The fundamental assumption is, therefore, not in any way to change the current image of the castle, possibly enhancing aspects of lesser value without trying to return to an original state now irrecoverable. The complexity of the intervention as a whole, has led to split the restoration in several stages where the restoration of façades is the first intervention that will involve the eastern wing of the Medici castle, according to the guidelines drawn from the general conservation project.
