Casina Farnese: an opportunity for a museum exhibition
Casina Farnese was built by the Farnese family in the gardens of the Orti Farnesiani, on the Palatine Hill:
it is a small building that is divided into two floors, with loggias entirely painted. In 2012 it began an
intervention for the restoration.
After the restoration, it was carried out the project for the new internal spiral staircase in cast iron and
corten. Then, in order to protect the intervention in the painted loggias, we projected the transparent
crystals, so that they did not close the loggias hermetically and they were equipped with filters to prevent
excessive heating.
At the same time, we carried out the Casina museum project, that is: a series of projections on a glass case
and vertical supports and also the creation of “temporal telescopes”, finally a structural glass staircase to
connect the exterior directly with the second level loggia.
