The monumental area of the Albergo dei poveri in Genoa has undergone restoration, thanks to a project by Fondazione Friends of Genoa and Fondazione Paolo e Giuliana Clerici. The two foundations donated over €200,000 to restore 50 statues, seven busts, and two medallions created by prominent Genoese artists over 370 years. The sculptures, depicting benefactors, nobles, and figures linked to the institution's history, were restored to their former glory through a conservative approach.
The restoration, carried out by a team of restorers, aimed to preserve the original material and minimize interference.
