The project combines two interventions: the restoration and consolidation of the Swiss Cemetery, in its outer walls and portal, and the redevelopment of the public space in front of it.
On the outer walls and the arched portal the work is restoration and consolidation, to halt the decay of the surfaces and restore solidity and legibility to the whole.
Outside, the area becomes pedestrian: new stone paving in regular courses, marked by bands of larger slabs, links the road to the entrance; cypresses and sandstone benches turn a passageway into a place to pause and reflect.
