A Historic Heritage to Be Enhanced
Built between 1886 and 1888, the Foro Boario Portico in Osimo served for over a century as a place of great social significance. Its original function was twofold: on the one hand, it provided support to the embankment for the creation of the Market Square; on the other, it offered a covered space dedicated to commercial trading activities and to the use as a public washhouse.
An Urban Regeneration Project
The new architectural redevelopment intervention aims to restore centrality to this historic building, transforming it into a landmark for the local community. The objective is twofold: on the one hand, to promote innovative approaches to the regeneration of public heritage; on the other, to ensure the complete removal of architectural barriers, improving urban quality and accessibility to Osimo’s historic city center.
Contemporary Spaces for Cultural and Social Activities
The project provides for the enclosure of the vaulted openings with large glazed panels, transforming the Loggia into a protected, functional, and technologically equipped environment. The new space, flexible and multifunctional in nature, will be dedicated to recreational, social, and cultural activities, with the aim of strengthening the historical and civic identity of the Portico and making it a vibrant and attractive place for the local community.
