Viterbo, the civic museum

The intervention can be delineated in two distinct, but cleary related stages: the first consist in the restoration of the monument by means of a series of solutions, the second is of an exhibitive character, in which the architectural poetic of the author is expressed, consisting of contemporary insertions. The exhibitive vocation of the objects is highlighted by the creation of supports with a minimal, plastic profile, with a distinct and clear tonality. The new architectural plan was realised with the aid of simple, white, circle-section metal, which envelop and present the paintings. The very chromatic schemata of the finishings of the surfaces, grey and blue, ease the reading of the paintings. Minissi had often proposed the suspended and transparent support, so as to offer the maximum visibility of the oeuvre to be examined while, at the same time, reducing to the bare necessities the supports "planted" on the ground in small environments.
