On March 18, a fundamental step was taken for the preservation of Abruzzo’s historical and artistic heritage: the maintenance, conservation, and restoration works of the Church of San Giorgio, in the Municipality of Tione degli Abruzzi (AQ), were officially awarded to DUEPUNTOTRE COSTRUZIONI GENERALI.

The intervention, funded under Law 160/2019 for a total amount of €849,488.05, represents a complex operation of protection and enhancement, long awaited by the entire community.

The successful operational launch is the result of fruitful collaboration between the authorities responsible for protection and reconstruction:

• Prefecture of L’Aquila
• Superintendence ABAP for the provinces of L’Aquila and Teramo (Project Manager: Arch. Giovanna Ceniccola)
• USRC, acting as implementing body.

The handover ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Tione degli Abruzzi, Dr. Stefania Mariani, the Project Manager Eng. Annalisa Di Cristofaro, the Works Director Arch. Federico Santoro, the Safety Coordinator Eng. Giovanni De Leonardis, and representatives of Due Punto Tre Costruzioni Generali s.r.l.

The project, which has an estimated duration of 120 days, involves a total investment of €900,000 funded through the “Sport e Periferie” tender and municipal funds. Following a public tender, the execution of the works was entrusted to the company Due Punto Tre Costruzioni Generali srl, with Eng. Katiuscia Faraoni as RUP (Sole Project Manager) in collaboration with Arch. Eleonora Grilli from the Public Works office.

The energy efficiency measures will include the installation of thermal insulation panels on the facades and roof, the replacement of all fixtures, as well as the installation of a photovoltaic system, relamping, and a new solar thermal system. Plans also include sanding the parquet flooring, purchasing new furnishings for the locker rooms and playing field, and the removal of architectural barriers.

“Through careful planning by the public works and sports offices, activities have not been interrupted, and various events will continue by utilizing other city facilities thanks to a synergy with the various operators. The redevelopment of the sports arena is part of the regeneration and enhancement plan for the city’s sports facilities, as repeatedly announced by the Sclavi administration.”

“We have already returned the Ciommei tensile structure to the city, and we are now proceeding with the project for the skate park and the design of the stadium gym. This is a significant plan that demonstrates our commitment to sports, our youth, and the care of our city’s precious heritage. We are also working on the variation for the sports park in the Sticchi/Ributino area for a comprehensive arrangement of the zone where new sports facilities will be located in the future,” conclude the Mayor and Deputy Mayor Pupo.
