Restoration and consolidation of the Spanish Walls: sections between Viale Caldara, Square Medaglie d'Oro, Viale Filippetti and Viale Beatrice d'Este

Given that the life of a cultural object is closely influenced by the environmental conditions of the context in which it lies (shading, orientation, etc..), and that this artifact materials and shape are characterized by porosity and water absorption, currently, at the end of intervention, it is yet to define future maintenance and the possible limits of acceptance and coexistence between the green and the walls, with the knowledge that it is unthinkable to oppose to the biological cycle of re-growth, but being forced to take care of these remains of the defensive system of the sixteenth century citizen, or suffer their loss.
From a phase of "correction", in accordance with the restoration, we will have to move towards a phase of "maintenance".
