Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice

Project Id	3726
Project Name	Co-housing Santa Chiara, Italy
Description	The church, the choir and the ex-convent of Santa Chiara constitute the residual portion of the great religious complex built starting from 1740. The primitive church was the subject of a reconstruction project by Bernardo Vittone. In the 20th century the church was purchased by the order of the Little Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which are still in its possession. In 2015, the property, no longer able to live there and wishing to continue using it for social purposes, entrusted it to the Abele Group on a free loan for use, maintaining the activity of surgery and assistance for the poor. The Abele Group started a cohousing project for young volunteers who welcome other young people in situations of economic and/or social fragility. Thanks to the contribution of the Compagnia di San Paolo a redevelopment process was started, which began with the restoration of the church, continued with the recovery of the former conventual part and with the restoration of the choir.
