Abstract
In the past, restoration work has mostly focused on important and historic buildings, especially those considered unique and special. These projects often aim to protect monuments with great historical and artistic value. However, restoring and reusing an old building can be more complex than building something new. It requires working with what already exists, respecting its history, and carefully adding new functions. A project that looks at both the building and its surroundings can help avoid the problem of placing a restored building in an area that is damaged or disconnected from its context. In Italy, many historic buildings are abandoned or in bad condition due to a lack of care and regular maintenance.
In front of these buildings, we must ask: is it better to let them continue to decay, or can we find new uses for them that give them value again? My thesis focuses on one of these buildings: Villa dei Laghi, a beautiful and historic villa located in the La Mandria Regional Park, northwest of Turin
