Renovation ex San Costanzo Church

This little medieval church, abandoned for generations, had been turned into a water cistern, then abandoned for a second time and lay half-buried by soil and weeds. It was inaccessible from the road, so we constructed a platform so that small diggers and bulldozers, hoisted by a crane, could reach the site. Excavations produced a great surprise: we found the remains of a much older building and reconstructed it with the same techniques that were used in the early Middle Ages. The stones from the cistern wall were used for retaining walls. We installed a special wiring system used for ancient monuments so as not to damage the 700-year-old walls.
