_ Our proposal aims TO AVOID STRONG PHYSICAL INTERVENTIONS

in the old city IN FAVOR OF SMALL INTERVENTIONS. The
implementation of the project do not touch or destroy any object or
the landscape in the city.
These interventions will be coherent with the historical context and
nevertheless they will guarantee high impact in the city
requalification.
