Restoration of historic Italian churches

Overview

Recent developments in Italy highlight the reopening of historic religious sites following significant structural repairs.

In Montepagano, the Santissima Annunziata church has reopened after a 630,000 euro restoration project. The work was required to repair damage caused by a lightning strike to the dome’s lantern in September 2024. The reopening included a mass led by Bishop Lorenzo Leuzzi and a concert by ‘I Sinfonici’.

In Sestino, the Pieve di San Pancrazio has also reopened for worship following consolidation and restoration efforts funded by PNRR resources. This intervention addressed long-standing foundation instability and structural degradation caused by historical seismic activity in the high-seismicity area.
