The project involved the redevelopment of a small, mostly unused and dilapidated building that is part of a complex of buildings called Villa della Amicizia, arranged around a courtyard in an ancient residential area. The main building, dating back to the 15th century, was renovated between 2000 and 2004 and converted into a municipal library. The building in question has a rectangular plan and is located adjacent to the main building (originally its service section), to which it is not connected.

The ground floor was occupied by the Alpini headquarters, while the upper floors were unused.
The project involved the functional recovery of the unused floors of the building (first, second, and attic) with the aim of enabling them to be used for socio-cultural purposes, compatible with the activities present in the adjacent building (library and senior center), while also fostering interrelationships between the spaces in the two parts.
The most delicate issues addressed were the positioning of the new iron staircase connecting the different floors (the building lacked one), the connection to the library located in the adjacent building through the construction of a covered painted steel walkway along the façade of the main building featuring a system of vertical diaphragms that regulate light and views, and the functional restoration of the loggias located on the south and north sides.

The first loggia, through the removal of a false attic and dividing wall, was restored to its original dimensions and closed on the open side by a large burnished painted steel frame. The second loggia, located along the façade of the exposed stone building undergoing conservative restoration, was inaccessible; through the creation of a new opening, this space was connected to the building and houses the external air conditioning units, protected on the two open sides by the painted steel diaphragm system used for the connecting element between the two buildings.
