structure and gaze
Pietro Perugino, the Durante altarpiece

The project stems from the intention to bring the work back to its original location, ensuring its protection, monitoring and long-term enhancement. The solution developed is an integrated technical device, designed as a discreet machine at the service of the artwork, capable of allowing its inspection and controlled movement.

The structure combines mechanical, lighting and multimedia elements into a single system: side columns with dedicated projectors, illuminated frames and a front protective element that hosts educational content about the restoration. The lighting, adjustable and remotely managed, ensures visual quality, conservation and energy savings.

Made of painted steel, the device guarantees solidity and durability over time while maintaining a light formal presence. The neutral colour choice favours integration with the existing architecture, leaving the artwork as the protagonist of the space.

The result is an integrated system that unites protection, technology and narrative, designed to be present without imposing itself, placing the experience of the artwork at the centre.
