narthex is displayed. The last fragment, lifted because adequate conditions
and protection for in-situ preservation were lacking, has been
joined to the portion kept in the Superintendency depositary which
had been taken up by an engineer named Machnitsch before 1915
during the construction of the drainage system outside the church.
The historical exhibits are completed by several broadly contemporary
inscribed Christian sarcophagi, re-worked and reused, that
were found in the Basilica complex and are strikingly displayed on
slabs of grey Muggia sandstone (figs. 2-5).

After graduating with Franca Helg at the Politecnico di Milano they work on the first
educational experiences in the BBPR office, with Lodovico Barbiano di Belgioioso,
and then in the Albini Helg Piva studio where - shunning from the seduction of the
architectural trendy - they reach awareness of design by craftsmen, connected to reason
of doing.
Consistent with this approach they achieved national and international awards, resulting
winners and then designers for the arrangement of the Valle della Petrosa at
Lanciano, the restoration of the Loggia dei Mercanti in Genoa, The Intra’s Waterfront
and Park, the Diocesan Museum of Vicenza, the Plazas of Patriarchal Basilica and the
archaeological excavation at Aquileia.
They take part in the debate on the role of contemporary architecture through university
teaching commitments (in Milan and Genoa) and research project in a professional
environment, at various scales, used mainly in historical and monumental.
In the museum field and for exhibition design, beyond Brescia, for the Museum of St
Julia, the domus dell’Ortaglia and “Vincenzo Foppa” exhibition, they are engaged
on professional work in Genoa, for the restoration of Tesoro di St Lawrence, the extension
of St Augustin and the exhibitions “L’età di Rubens” and “Sacra Selva”
(Genoa 2004 European Capital of Culture), in Novara for the Broletto and Civic
Museum, in Cremona for the Archaeological Museum, in Mantova for the excavations
of Piazza Sordello.
