The Church, built on engineer Vardemaro Barbetta’s project in 1973, is highly characterized by the structural work: three gantries are settled by two balks that statically frame a three hinges portal. The hinges are made of steel and they are placed at the foot and at the top of the structure, resolving the building architecturally and structurally.
The restoration work recreated the wooden parts and recovered the mechanical essentiality of the steel hinges, preserving the original roof cladding, because of its integration with the surrounding pinewood.
