Restoration

Aramaicos

Aramaicos oversees the sector of the conservative restoration of valuable buildings, monumental complexes and architectural, artistic and archaeological heritage. An area set to undergo major development mainly through public-sector commissions by the Superintendence for Environmental and Architectural Heritage, the Superintendence for Archaeology and local authorities, among others.

Its major historical restorations include important interventions at the Baths of Caracalla (1996-1997), the Colosseum (2010-2011), the Trevi Fountain (1988-1991), the Palatine – Farnese Gardens (2005-2007), the House of Augustus Complex (2006-2007), Domus Tiberiana (2009-2010) and Porta Maggiore Basilica (2010/2011).

Through project financing, Aramaicos is involved in the conservative restoration of the facades of the ‘A. Cadlolo’ school on behalf of the Municipality of Rome I and in 2021 it improved the safety of the monumental entrance of Palazzo Tiberi at 95 Via IV Novembre in the Monti district of Rome, currently home to ‘Ennio Quirino Visconti’ middle school.
