This preliminary project was done on a commission of the Superintendence for the Artistic and Historical Heritage to verify the possibility of enlarging the former conventual complex in the big north courtyard and thus give new display and teaching spaces and greater functionality both to the Pinacotheca and to the Academy of Fine Arts below. This is the last in order of time of a series of proposals formulated in this connection by PANSTUDIO starting from the early 1990s.
