After the Silence, Rebirth: Reopening of Camerino’s Archbishop’s Palace and Diocesan Museum

By Daniele Ridolfi,

Camerino, October 16, 2025 – After years of restoration and reconstruction, the Archbishop’s Palace of Camerino and the Diocesan Museum “Monsignor Giacomo Boccanera” have officially reopened, symbolizing the cultural and spiritual rebirth of the city and its community.

Since 2021, ENGLOBE has been responsible for the preliminary, detailed, and executive design, as well as the health and safety coordination during design, for the entire palace. This long and meticulous process has brought new life to one of the region’s most important architectural landmarks.

As stated by the President of the Marche Region, Francesco Acquaroli: “Reopening the Archbishop’s Palace and the Diocesan Museum represents a fundamental step for Camerino, for our region, and for the entire earthquake crater. Returning this place to the community means restoring a vital part of daily life and of the city’s identity.”

Built in the 16th century by Bishop Berardo Bongiovanni, the palace stands beside the cathedral and preserves layers of historical and architectural heritage. The project involved seismic strengthening, spatial reorganization, and restoration of the medieval underground areas, enhancing the original structure’s integrity and beauty.

Directed by Dr. Barbara Mastrocola, the Giacomo Boccanera Diocesan Museum displays works by Luca Signorelli, Giovan Battista Gaulli, Giovanni Boccati, Carlo Crivelli, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, reflecting the rich spiritual and artistic legacy of Camerino’s diocese.

The reopening event, “After the Silence, Rebirth”, gathered President Acquaroli, Archbishop Francesco Massara, Reconstruction Commissioner Guido Castelli, Mayor Roberto Lucarelli, and numerous authorities and citizens.

For ENGLOBE, participating in the inauguration marked the conclusion of a journey that began in 2021 — a journey of silent rebirth, technical precision, and cultural commitment to restoring one of Camerino’s most treasured symbols.

Collaboration with Politecnico di Milano for Structural Analysis of Historic Vaults at the Ducal Palace of Urbino

By Daniele Ridolfi,

A simplified FEM approach for assessing historic masonry vaults

As part of the restoration and seismic upgrading of the “Casermette” building—an annex of the Ducal Palace of Urbino and home to the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche—Englobe collaborated with the research team led by Prof. Gabriele Milani and Ing. Natalia Pingaro from Politecnico di Milano.

The study focused on the large-span brick barrel vault located in the basement level. A simplified nonlinear FEM model was developed using elastic-brittle truss elements and a heterogeneous discretization strategy, offering engineers a practical yet robust tool for structural analysis of heritage masonry.

The results were presented at COMPDYN 2025, one of the leading international conferences on structural dynamics and earthquake engineering.

From survey to validation

Englobe’s structural engineering team—Marco Magnani, Carlo Priori, and Guido Camarda—provided geometric surveys, construction data, and technical support based on their ongoing role in the structural design and site management for the restoration works.

This real-world data was integrated into the FEM model and validated against manual kinematic analysis and upper bound limit analysis software. The consistency among the methods confirmed the reliability of the proposed approach under both gravity and seismic loads.

Client and design team

Client: Italian Ministry of Culture – Ducal Palace of Urbino
Architectural Design and Site Supervision: Arch. Francesco Primari
MEP Design: Eng. Lorenzo Santi
Project Manager (RUP): Arch. Biagio De Martinis

This case demonstrates the value of bridging research and practice in heritage engineering. The synergy between Politecnico di Milano and Englobe showcases a replicable model of cooperation that combines academic rigor with engineering pragmatism.
