On 2 May 2019 the much ‘longed-for’ building site opened for the restoration and above all for the strengthening of the bell tower of our Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Rome.

The historic fractures in the bell tower which increased with the seismic shocks of recent years – produced by devastating earthquakes in the centre of Italy which were also felt in Rome above all in our neighbourhood of ‘Campo Marzio’ which is famed for being in antiquity a marshy area and is traversed by streams flowing into the Tiber – had begun to provoke a certain concern.
