Heritage
as horizon.

Sarteano. Tuscany. Restoring the Chiesina del Belriguardo as a living place for art, music, science and public thought.

The place

A small sixteenth-century church, almost forgotten, on the road from Sarteano to Cetona.

Belriguardo stands close to the Pianacce necropolis and the Tomba della Quadriga Infernale, within a landscape shaped by Etruscan, medieval and Renaissance history. Its rare octagonal plan gives the building a quiet geometric presence.

The project

Not restoration as nostalgia. Restoration as continuity.

The project exists to rescue the church from structural decay and return it to use: a small center with a wide outlook, rooted in local history and open to contemporary culture.
