Restoration of Complesso degli Incurabili

Through the words of Pareyson, who defines artistic action as a battle waged against matter, the project of recovery, restoration and re-functionalization of the Monumental Complex of Santa Maria del Popolo degli Incurabili in Naples, aims to make manifest that binomial: the suspended time of hospitalization from the disease finds its counterpoint in the indefinite time of the art object, understood as an element capable of challenging death, thanks to its permanence through the generations.
The salvific action that art offers to perishable matter thus becomes the lens through which to approach the difficult project theme: the selected grafts and the careful cancellations through which the relationships between the parts of the Complex are overwritten, and of its whole with the the vast dimension of the city, concur to identify, making it manifest, the poetic figure of the entire regeneration work.
