The renovation of the Manifattura Tabacchi (a tobacco factory in activity up to the end of 1800) was planned, authorized by local government and fulfilled in record time. It involves the renovation of all the facades of the old buildings overlooking the inner courtyard and the accomplishment of a hall for the Annual Assembly of the local CONFINDUSTRIA (Confederation of Italian Industry) that this year hosted 1200 participants. The assembly space is located in a transparent structure pavilion. Its transparence together with the illumination of the existing buildings has given the participants the very suggestive impression of being in a covered “piazza”.
