The Underground Spaces of Saint Anastasia Church

Restoring and bringing new life to the underground spaces of Saint Anastasia Church on the Palatine Hill.

In the heart of Imperial Rome

At the heart of the Palatine Hill, the restoration of the underground chambers of the Church of Saint Anastasia brings back to light an extraordinary archaeological site. Commissioned by the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum and funded by the Caput Mundi – Next Generation EU program, the project includes a complex process of architectural conservation, functional upgrading and heritage enhancement aimed at reopening one of the most ancient and symbolic spaces of Imperial Rome.

Intervention and methods

The intervention involved the consolidation of opus caementicium and brick structures, cleaning and restoration of ancient surfaces, recovery of opus spicatum floors and Roman paving, and the creation of new corten steel walkways and staircases designed to harmonize with the archaeological context.

Design approach

Through its integrated and multidisciplinary approach, ENGLOBE ensured the balance between conservation, accessibility and safety, allowing visitors to rediscover a unique testimony to the origins of the Eternal City.

Restoration and Redevelopment of Palazzo Vallemani

A cultural landmark in the heart of Assisi

The restoration and redevelopment of Palazzo Vallemani in Assisi represent a key intervention to preserve and enhance one of the city’s most significant historic buildings. Located in the heart of the old town, just a few steps from the Basilica of Saint Francis, the Palazzo stands as a symbol of Assisi’s architectural heritage and a vital meeting place for the local community.

Regeneration supported by the PNRR

Funded by Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the project aims to restore the Palazzo’s full functionality while integrating new uses that strengthen its civic and cultural role. The intervention includes:

  • the recovery of areas assigned to local cultural associations,

  • the redevelopment of outdoor spaces and adjacent urban pathways,

  • the improvement of accessibility through new vertical connection systems.

Balancing heritage and innovation

The design approach combines respect for historical and artistic value with the adoption of innovative technologies to enhance sustainability, safety, and comfort. The restoration focuses on preserving the Palazzo’s original architectural features while ensuring inclusive and accessible spaces for all users.

A renewed center for culture and community

Through this project, Palazzo Vallemani is set to become once again a vibrant hub of culture, social life, and identity for the city of Assisi — a place where historical memory and contemporary design coexist in perfect balance.

Riqualificazione Ex Foro Boario e Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII a Osimo | Restauro e Rigenerazione Urbana

Ex Foro Boario

By Daniele Ridolfi,

Ex Foro Boario

Restoration, Accessibility, and Urban Innovation

Redevelopment of the Former Foro Boario and Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII in Osimo

The redevelopment project of the Former Foro Boario and Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII in Osimo represents a strategic urban regeneration initiative aimed at restoring vitality to an area of significant historical, architectural, and social value. Located at the entrance to Osimo’s historic center, the porticoed complex of the Foro Boario—dating back to the 19th century—is an emblematic example of Marche’s historical architecture, now undergoing restoration and enhancement through a contemporary design approach.

An integrated project within the PINQuA Program of the NRRP

This initiative is part of the PINQuA Program under Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), dedicated to improving housing quality and promoting urban sustainability.
The main goal is to regenerate the Former Foro Boario, transforming it into a cultural and social hub for the local community through multifunctional spaces designed for events, exhibitions, conferences, and public activities.

The project includes:

  • Conservative restoration of the historic structures;

  • Seismic upgrading and structural strengthening;

  • Energy efficiency measures and environmental sustainability technologies;

  • Universal accessibility through the removal of architectural barriers.

Architectural restoration and enhancement of historic spaces

The restoration of the Foro Boario’s portico was conceived to preserve its historical character while introducing new functions. The historic arches will be enclosed with lightweight glass panels, creating flexible, sheltered spaces suitable for public events and conferences.
A new panoramic elevator will connect the Foro level to Osimo’s historic center, improving accessibility and usability for all citizens, particularly those with reduced mobility.

Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII and the park: breathing new life into public spaces

The project extends to the adjacent square and park, featuring:

  • Pedestrian areas and green pathways;

  • Resting zones and recreational spaces;

  • Smart lighting systems and sustainable urban furniture.

These interventions aim to improve urban quality, enhance safety, foster social inclusion, and make Osimo a tangible example of a Smart City within the Marche region.

A model of urban regeneration between history and innovation

This project serves as a model of integrated urban regeneration, where the enhancement of historic heritage harmoniously interacts with the needs of contemporary urban life.
Through restoration, accessibility, and sustainability, Osimo renews its urban fabric—promoting social cohesion, quality of life, and territorial identity, which reflect the core principles of European and national policies for the ecological and digital transition of cities.

Conservative restoration, enhancement, and visitor access routes

The Villa of Maxentius on the Appian Way: Restoration and Enhancement of Rome’s Archaeological Heritage

The Villa of Maxentius is one of the most extraordinary archaeological complexes of ancient Rome, located between the second and third mile of the Appian Way, the historic consular road that once connected Rome to Capua.

Built between 306 and 309 AD, the imperial residence includes three main structures: the Imperial Palace, the Mausoleum of Romulus, and the Circus of Maxentius, monumental works designed to celebrate the emperor’s figure and assert his power through architecture.

A unique late-imperial complex

The Villa of Maxentius stands out for its exceptional architectural and symbolic unity, rare among imperial complexes of the late Roman Empire. The site perfectly illustrates how politics, architecture, and religion were intertwined in late antiquity.
Over the centuries, the villa experienced transformations, abandonment, and decay, making a careful and respectful restoration intervention essential.

The conservative restoration of the Villa of Maxentius

The archaeological and conservative restoration project aimed to preserve and enhance one of Rome’s most significant cultural landmarks. The intervention included:

  • Consolidation of ancient masonry using compatible techniques and low-impact materials;

  • Restoration of the “imperial corridor,” the passage connecting the palace to the pulvinar, the podium from which the emperor watched the races in the circus;

  • Redevelopment of visitor pathways, introducing accessible and sustainable solutions.

Technology and design approach

The intervention was based on a multidisciplinary approach combining traditional restoration techniques with advanced digital and diagnostic technologies for structural and environmental monitoring.
All operations were carried out with the utmost respect for the archaeological context, ensuring safety, preservation, and accessibility for visitors.

A dialogue between past and future

Today, the Villa of Maxentius is a vibrant and accessible site where history, architecture, and landscape coexist.
The restoration has returned to the public a place of extraordinary beauty, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the ancient splendor of Rome along the Appian Way, surrounded by monuments, ruins, and evocative views.

This project represents a bridge between past and future, an example of sustainable enhancement of archaeological heritage that combines scientific rigor, innovation, and respect for historical memory.
