Antonio Neri
The dialogue between the convent architecture – now used as an exhibition space – and the elements that illuminate its entrance and cloisters is based on the austerity of the shapes and on the quality of light.
Architecturally, the complex, which dominates the entire hill, represents an unicum, featuring a spectacular wall, unusual for Capuchin architecture. The restoration enhances the original materials, renewing – also through lighting – a strong sense of spirituality.
