The Spiral Staircase Comes Back to Life
In Cisterna di Latina, Corbo Group has restored the architectural beauty and functionality of the spiral staircase at Palazzo Caetani. The restoration enhances the historic courtyard and circulation routes, bringing together architectural heritage, safety and accessibility.
The project has restored the magnificent spiral staircase in the north tower of Palazzo Caetani to its original form. As a central element of the building's vertical circulation system, the staircase plays a significant role in restoring the identity of one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
In addition to the architectural restoration, structural strengthening works were carried out on the floors of the internal courtyard and adjoining rooms. These interventions were designed to improve safety and accessibility while preserving the building's historic authenticity.
The restoration has enhanced the visitor experience, creating a route that leads from the courtyard to the network of underground caves. This distinctive journey connects the building's historic spaces, creating a meaningful dialogue between past and present.
A Restoration Combining Tradition and Technology
The restoration followed principles of material and structural compatibility, employing techniques that respect the building's historic fabric alongside modern solutions to improve structural stability. Every detail was carefully considered, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary technical expertise.
Safety as a Priority
Targeted structural strengthening, careful restoration of original materials and functional improvements have brought the courtyard and staircase back into use. Today, these spaces can once again serve as places for community gatherings and cultural activities.
The project represents an important step in the urban regeneration of Cisterna di Latina, contributing to the preservation of its historic centre and enhancing the area's cultural appeal. The restoration of Palazzo Caetani's spiral staircase and internal courtyard stands as a symbol of local identity and shared renewal, ensuring that an important part of the city's architectural heritage continues to play a meaningful role in community life.
