Chiesa di Santa Margherita

Site Visit, 24th September
The Chiesa di Santa Margherita is in Piazza Margherita, one of the three piazze being studied as part of my current design project. I was invited by the architect, Claudio Ciofani, to join him on a site inspection. I learnt about the damage to the church during the 2009 earthquake and the process of reconstruction which started 3 years ago. The inspection was led by the foreman Duccio, and included a site tour across the extensive scaffolding within the church which enabled us to get close to the church's vaulted ceiling to see the most significant damage.
