The redevelopment project of the building is financed with 39 million euros from the Pnrr as part of the National Innovative Program for the Quality of Living (Pinqua).
«It is the greatest work in the history of the Municipality of Ascoli Piceno». Marco Fioravanti, mayor of the Marche municipality, describes Palazzo Saladini Pilastri in this way, presenting the grandiose restoration work of the structure and its monumental park.
The official inauguration of the redevelopment works took place today in the presence of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
The complex, which in the past was the private property of Count Saladini Pilastri, will be opened to the public in 2027, but on 10 and 11 October it will be open to visitors as part of the FAI (Italian Environment Fund) autumn days.
The redevelopment project of the building was financed with 39 million euros from the Pnrr as part of the National Innovative Program for the Quality of Living (Pinqua) of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and was managed with cutting-edge technologies such as BIM digital modelling.
The giant construction site involved over 200 workers and dozens of local businesses.
The works involved approximately 9 thousand square meters of public spaces and an Italian garden covering approximately one hectare.
The objective of the restoration was to return part of the city's important historical and architectural heritage to the community.
The idea behind the renovation of the complex, which includes the redevelopment of the building and its refunctionalization through a special public-private partnership, combines heritage protection and social vocation.
Inside the structure, in fact, there will be a hotel and an ethical restaurant managed by young people with disabilities, flanked by 138 moderately rented accommodations for those who decide to establish their residence in Ascoli.
There will also be a third sector management center and a solidarity health centre.
The project therefore aims to make the structure an urban welfare hub capable of integrating health, social and housing services.
