Consolidation and restoration of roofings of side naves, of the ground floor rooms, of façades and doors and windows, and temporary arrangement of the square 

Works were designed and supervised by Architects Davide Cerali, Giacinta Jean and Floriana Petracco from 2001 to 2004. The project was initially designed to be carried out in different phases, but the client’s changed requirements only allowed to complete the most urgent works such as safety updating, roofings arrangement and structural stabilization, as well as preservation of the external structure and a preliminary restoration project aiming to assess the state of preservation and the possibilities of reuse of the building.
The project was meant to optimize the historical and architectural characteristics of the Novitiate, looking for new conditions of use, among which the need for new Municipality headquarters in a location with significant meaning for the local community.
The building dimensions allowed however other private and institutional sponsors to join the project, though, at present, it is still  unused.
