The proposed works consist of the restoration of the Church of San Macario al Capannone and are aimed at resolving problems of deterioration affecting the roof, walls, finishes and systems. As regards the roof, the plan is to replace the damaged purlins and joists with elements of the same type. The existing floor tiles will be recovered and a thin layer of hydraulic lime (2-3 cm) will be applied on top of them, with a fibre-reinforced composite mesh and suitable waterproofing and insulation. The eaves and brick soffits will be repaired and grouted where necessary. The roof covering will be rebuilt, taking into account the existing type, with Marseilles-style elements. Suitable fall protection systems will be installed on the roof. The eaves and rain gutters will be installed in copper-coloured painted sheet metal. On the top of the roof, near the façade, the small stone pedestal will be rebuilt and a metal cross will be repositioned. As regards the external finishes, the existing plasterwork (recently manufactured) will be demolished and rebuilt using highly breathable plaster (such as cocciopesto dehumidifying plaster) and then painted in a colour to be agreed with the Superintendency. It is also proposed to plaster the bell gable, given the poor quality of the masonry and its texture, which has been altered and reworked over the centuries, and especially considering the traces of plaster and paint on the facing. The frames and grilles of the openings will be restored, while the external paving of the churchyard will be washed and treated with a protective coating. Inside, the walls will be repainted (after removing any parts that have been damaged by damp) and the existing floor tiles will be repainted. The existing wooden fixtures and internal doors will also be restored, including the replacement of any glass. Finally, the restoration work will include the overhaul of the existing electrical and heating systems, with any additions to make them more efficient and usable.
