Static restoration of the Gregorian Profane and Pious Christian museums, Pontificial Misionary-Ethnologic Museum and construction of the Pauline Museum.

The high complexity of such works, due to the importance of the structures to be built in a place visited by so many tourists, consisted also in the difficult harmonization of the new buildings, both from a technical and architectural point of view, with the existing buildings.  It was also necessary to equip the buildings with services and technical systems which could satisfy the new needs.
