The Cassa di Risparmio di Volterra has announced a competition of ideas for interventions to consolidate and enhance a portion of Palazzo Matteucci – a building dating back to the 18th/19th century on a medieval layout – once the operational headquarters of the CRV, now empty and considered well not instrumental.
The objective of the competition is acquire a design proposal for its redevelopment while respecting the valuable architectural characteristics. The valorization proposals will therefore have to take into account the numerous frescoes present, as in the case of the ancient hall, later transformed into a meeting room, which still retains the noble coat of arms in the centre; a frescoed room that housed rooms used as offices; two rooms with ceilings decorated with dry paintings, completely restored after the purchase of the property by the Cassa.
Developed for three floors above ground and with a basement portion, the building has a load-bearing masonry structure mixed with stone and brick, partly plastered and partly exposed, and a pavilion roof with a wooden structure made of beams and rafters and with mantle in Tuscan tile and imbrice. The downspouts are made of copper and the external frames are made of wood and glass. The presence of cracks was detected, which although not causing particular risk at the moment for the state of the property, highlight the need for consolidation and restructuring interventions.
The estimated cost for carrying out the work, including safety costs, is 2,000,000 euros net of VAT.
