This project is about the recovery of the “A. Maj” complex, an ancient convent attached to the church of Paradise. With its valuable fifteenth-century cloister (the distinctive element through which the building is identified by the local population) it has historically played an important role in the social context of our Altopiano. According with the functional organization of the internal spaces resulting from the transformation into a boarding school in the 19th century, the recovery of the “A. Maj” Cloister wants to respond to many different hospitalities needs of the Clusone area and its context. For example, through the creation of spaces intended for short stays to increase the local tourism (characterized by numerous places and itineraries that can be visited in one day) and through the creation of co-working spaces.
Clusone is an Italian town and municipality in the province of Bergamo. Located in the Val Seriana, it received the honorary title of city on 15 May 1957 with a presidential decree, which ratified a Napoleon’s promise of the year 1801. It is one of “I Borghi più belli d’Italia” (“The most beautiful villages of Italy”). Clusone is part of the Serio Valley, even though from an orographic point of view the plateau of Clusone, from glacial origin, belongs in part to the basin of Oglio. The climate of Clusone is temperate: in the winter, temperatures can fall to −10 °C (14 °F) and in summer may reach a maximum of 30 °C (86 °F). More on: https://www.visitclusone.it/en
