Conservazione delle facciate dipinte a Chiavari (Genova), dagli anni ‘90 al bonus facciate

Chiavari (GE) is known for the porticoes that characterize the entire historic centre; connected to these are facades painted in trompe-l'oeil which have gradually been renovated, not always following conservative principles. Since 2019, an agreement has been active between the University of Genoa, the Municipality of Chiavari and the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Territorial Landscape, for the study of the porticoes - subject to a declaration of cultural interest - and the facades above, with the aim of defining the lines -guide for the correct conservation and management of this precious architectural heritage. The timing of the research coincided with that of the "Bonus Facciate", offering the opportunity for a reflection on the outcomes of the fiscal measure adopted by the Government, in relation to the documentary investigations carried out and the facade maintenance sites started in recent years.
