    In September 1943, two bombs fell on this house, one of them landing directly in this atrium, oblite-rating three of the four columns which we see. Only the north-facing column remained intact - the second which you see on the left.
    All of the others were reconstructed in 1946 by anastylosis, using many iron or galvanised sheet supports and cement mortar.
    Following the 1980 earthquake, these columns underwent further significant conservational inter-ventions, which led to serious fracturing and fragmentation.
    And up until the beginning of these works, the west column was stabilised and supported with pipes, metal joints and wooden planks, to support and preserve all of the fragmented parts, either partially damaged or entirely split open, held together by this protective support.
    The intervention was thus primarily aimed at the recovery of this column, which we wanted to leave free, and the reinforcing and consolidation of all of its individual elements, along with the consoli-dation and restoration of the others, which in any case suffered rather advanced levels of degrada-tion. The intervention took on this form: the method involved dismantling and moving the two col-umns and the individual drums, and working on them on the ground in a highly laborious and com-plex restoration process that consisted of detaching all of the unsuitable elements, which over time could still cause persistent degradation; identifying those metallic elements requiring removal and replacement, removing cement grouting and earlier mortars which were no longer suitable, and then replacing all of them, intervening with new support elements and new mortars, and then once the individual sections had been reconstructed - the individual parts on the ground - putting them back in their original position.
    Here on the ground we can see a prime example of the complications which we faced, namely this individual drum - the third from the south column - which as we can see has been dismantled, be-cause a support in the form of a very thick and deep iron bar had been inserted through a core inside it, but its subsequent oxidisation was then the cause of fractures and then the degradation of the en-tire block.
    Looking at this drum, we can readily understand how we intervened on previously restored materi-als. This part was coated by a restorative grout in cement mortar which, as well as being dirty, was fractured, and as a result we removed all of the loose and non-compact parts, also to be able to in-spect the interior. Following the fractures and removing the grouting which was no longer bonded, we then saw that underneath there were two supports - in fact here we see only two but there were more, in iron - and they were therefore removed. As a result new grouting in restored material will be carried out.
    We are now able to see the columns after completing the restoration work, to my right to my and left, the individual components having been entirely restored and reassembled in situ. Biocide treatment, as well as cleaning and protective interventions have been carried out on all the columns. In addition to consolidation works, an aesthetic recovery and redevelopment intervention has also been carried out, to standardise the restored materials and the additions.
