Civic centre in the village of Ameno

In Ameno’s historic centre, west of Palazzo Tornielli, the Municipality is creating the village’s civic centre in successive phases within the former ECA complex: buildings from different periods gathered around courtyards and gardens.

This phase, funded by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR, “Attractiveness of historic villages”), brought back into use the Palazzo Tornielli glasshouse, whose fully glazed front opens onto the square, as a visitor and tourist information point, with a new passage to the courtyards and gardens behind. A makeshift, dilapidated canopy in the courtyard of the building facing the playground was rebuilt as a new volume on its original outline, to house a workshop for art classes and other community activities; the adjoining room was also upgraded for a new use.
