The facade of the Cathedral of Lugano is one of the most important examples of Renaissance architecture in the Lombardy-Ticino region. The stone facade was built in the 16th century using Saltrio and Viggi霉 stones, extracted from the Val Ceresio area, and Carrara marble for the high reliefs placed beside the three entrances and above the central portal.
The educational project was part of a three-month extraordinary maintenance intervention aimed at stabilizing the stone material, which had undergone significant deterioration due to direct exposure to the elements and a lack of maintenance.
