Il restauro del consolidamento anni '60 nel chiostro Ludovisi

: the restoration project concerns a relevant area of the monumental complex of the Terme di Diocleziano - ex Certosa di Santa Maria degli Angeli or the so-called Ludovisi Cloister. In the middle of the 1960's and the early 1970's, it was object of a strongly invasive consolidation work, both in terms of structural safety and of the theory of restoration. Due to the serious state of deterioration and in order to extend the actual path of the Museo Nazionale Romano including the cloister, where it is still possible to recognize the simplicity of the proportions from the late 1500's, the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma has inserted into the program “Roma Capitale” the architectonic restoration and use of the cloister, which has received its first financing at the beginning of this year. The plan to restore the cloister, so as to use the space for museum exhibitions, consists of reinforcing the wall structures using traditional techniques and materials, and removing those works which are not only detrimental to the integrity of the monument, but also to the stability of the structures.
