The maintenance and restoration works on the façades of the building located at Via Piave 80, in the heart of the Sallustiano district, have been successfully completed.
The project concerned a property situated in an area of significant historical value, once occupied by the ancient Horti Sallustiani and later shaped by major urban transformations from the 16th century through the post-unification expansion of Rome. Today, the building lies within the Historic City, in a refined 19th-century urban fabric.
The intervention became necessary to address widespread deterioration affecting the external surfaces of the building, mainly caused by atmospheric pollution and constant exposure to urban traffic. Surface deposits, staining, and the gradual decay of plasterwork had partially compromised both the appearance and preservation of the façades.
The works were carried out in accordance with strict conservation principles, prioritizing minimal intervention and ensuring full compatibility between new materials and the original ones. Particular care was taken to preserve the architectural identity of the building, avoiding invasive operations and guaranteeing the reversibility of all additions.
Specifically, the project included inspection and repair of plasterwork, restoration of cornices and stringcourses, refurbishment of window surrounds, replacement of deteriorated slate elements, restoration of the wooden entrance door, and minor repairs to the shutters.
Thanks to these interventions, the building has regained its original appearance, contributing to the overall enhancement of the urban landscape and the preservation of the city’s historic architectural heritage.
The completion of the works represents a further step toward safeguarding and enhancing Rome’s Historic City, in line with broader conservation objectives.
