The Consular Offices was attached to the historical building, probably a Casino di Caccia of '900 with a steel structure.
So, the starting point of the project was the recovery of historical identity; the architectural partitions were released and isolated using a color code to distinguish the pre-existence to modern intervention.
The spaces are no longer sufficient to accommodate the flow of visitors who daily crowd.
A general improvement of the conditions of waiting for guests and work for officials through more space and light, more comfort and a more efficient control of flows, the particular shape of the front desk was designed to provide as much space as possible for each operator.
