The project involves urban regeneration of the historical Pesenti cement factory in Alzano Lombardo through the recovery and valorization of the unique nineteenth-century industrial archaeology context, for educational and cultural purposes aimed at its transformation into a school complex. The monumental building is divided into main parts, walkways, 12 vertical ovens, 6 circular chimneys, large vaulted spaces and supported by Doric-style columns. Its location is strategic: nearby A4 motorway, airport, Tramway stop in front of the factory and a multistorey car park. From a disused factory into a ‘forge of knowledge’.
Alzano Lombardo, a municipality in the province of Bergamo, is steeped in history with Roman origins. Its architectural landmarks, such as the Church of San Martino, showcase its rich heritage. The town bustles with lively markets and cultural festivals, offering visitors a taste of local life. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, it provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling. With its blend of historical charm, cultural richness, and natural beauty, Alzano Lombardo captures the essence of Italian provincial life, inviting visitors to discover its timeless allure and vibrant spirit.
