Sottosopra. Mediolani revelatio

In the heart of Milan's historic center, precisely in Via Zecca Vecchia, near the Duomo, ancient Roman ruins belonging to Mediolanum have recently been discovered. The objective of the project is the preservation and protection of these artifacts, which is why a covering has been created with the function of square for the city of Milan, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding narrow streets.

The project represents a new conception of a museum for the city, where ancient and contemporary elements interact, filling a void left by the city itself and offering its residents a new place for gathering and discovery. Sustainability plays a crucial role in the project, both from an environmental and social perspective: the use of natural materials for the interior and exterior finishing of the museum, as well as the use of a prefabricated and modular steel structure, aim to raise awareness among users about this fundamental issue.
