Former suffragio churchLucca
The project included; structural rehabilitation operations, works to adapt the hall and adjacent spaces and bring them up to building regulation standards, restoration work to the façade (which was in an advanced state of decay), and internal spaces. Surfaces were restored, once careful stratigraphical investigations had been carried out, enabling the original colours of the church and clarity of the architectural decoration to be retrieved.

- Abstract:
- The Suffragio church is one of the prime examples of Counter-Reformation architecture in Lucca. Its construction began in 1634 to a design by Francesco Buonamici on a former burial site for victims of the 1630 Plague. The church was consecrated in 1646 and work was completed in 1675 with the installation of the high altar, which was later removed by Elisa Baciocchi in 1809 and donated to the Cathedral in Ajaccio.
