Lanthieri Manor, Slovenia |
| Description |
The Lanthieri Manor was one of the summer houses of the Lanthieri family from Gorizia. originally built in 1669 in the old town of Vipava (an important settlement in the connection Alps-Adriatic Sea), the palace was subject to many adaptation, culminating in the 1762 intervention that gave to it its present neobaroque appearance, simulating a Veneto villa, recalling the Longobard origin of the family. Since the early 2000 the building has been renovated through an investment of more than 4 million euros from different sources (European, National, local and private) and given in concession for 85 years to the University of Nova Gorica, that is hosting cultural activities and contributing to the revitalisation of the town of Vipava, previously in slow abandonement. |
| Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project |
The project could be considered a good practices for different reasons, although the preservation works in themselves have not been carried out at the highest international standards. 1. Almost the entire building (part was demolished by decision of the national government heritage authority) was renovated. Unofrtunateyl the integrity and the authenticity are seriously lost. 2. The Project imagined a fully sustainable use, offering the space to the university that has immediately attracted new businesses in the area (new bars, restaurants, shops, etc.) with increased plateau of users. 3. the project gave a new cultural life to the town, also offered to the localsn(i.e. the cultural evening, opened to everyone). 4. The space is open to all users, with opportunities to organise specific activities. 5. The decision for the management of the site came from a public consultation, informing the citizens by enlisting the potential benefits for the area. |
