The architectural heritage of Giancarlo De Carlo, who designed Urbino in 50 years of uninterrupted work, passes from concrete to digital, thanks to the Tocc call "Digital transition for cultural and creative organisms" of the Ministry of Culture managed by Invitalia within the Pnrr, to select the best projects digital transition proposed by cultural institutions.
The winner was the Ca' Romanino Foundation, which takes its name from one of De Carlo's creations, a private home in Brutalist style on the hills of Urbino, built in 1968.
The project has a total value of 53,730 euros, of which 37,205 thousand were financed from the same fund.
The objective is to fully valorise the work carried out by De Carlo in Urbino, where he was called by the then rector Carlo Bo at the beginning of the 1950s to renovate the university spaces.
Two digitization activities to be carried out by 2025: the creation of a platform, the Atlante de Carlo, to encourage shared research between scholars and the community, and the creation of a digital catalog of Ca' Romanino itself: furnishing objects, decorative elements , texts, vinyls, drawings present inside the house.
The residence, donated by the owners to the Foundation, can be visited and short stays can be spent there.
