Restoration of the church Santa Maria della Carità

The Church of S. Maria della Carità (1640), with an octagonal plan, has a façade, similar to neoclassical models, which consists of two orders of single and coupled pilasters. Internally the space is characterized by the presence of the main altar covered in polychrome marble (1685). The restoration (2013) provided for the replacement of the wooden warping of the roofing, the static consolidation of the dome drum, the recovery of the façade and its sculptural complex. Inside the intervention concerned the decorative pictorial apparatuses, the wooden and marble altars.

The Church of Santa Maria della Carità, commonly called 'Carità', is a baroque catholic church, located on the corner of Via dei Musei via Rosa in Brescia, region of Lombardy (Italy). It was restored in 2013 by Giovanni Tortelli and Roberto Frassoni (Frassoni Architetti Associati) with an interior lighting designed by Flos. In this project we find the Taraxacum 88 luminaire, designed by Achille Castiglioni for Flos.
