The renovation of the Rinascente in Piazza Fiume in Rome The project that will change the face of the historic store

A true monument to the Italian economic boom of the 1950s and 1960s, the Rinascente in Piazza Fiume in Rome will be at the centre of restoration by the 2050+ agency to make the structure designed by Franco Albini and Franca Helg a place open to citizens and the public. The various interventions, described as "tactical" by the agency, will replace some components of the building to restore the technical solutions and spatial conditions envisaged by the original project while trying to adapt it to the new needs of a contemporary department store.

Directed by Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli with the project team led by Giacomo Ardesio and Chiara Tomassi, the project with the restoration of the building and the redesign of the interiors will end in August 2023.
