The challenge of recovery and redevelopment of a building of historical and monumental importance as the Procuratie Vecchie was that to give new life to one of the masterpieces of the Venetian architecture of the XVI century, respecting its characteristics historical but at the same time adapting it to the needs of modern use. The restructuring of the  Procuratie Vecchie is part of a wider recovery of the entire marciana area supported by Generali.Martino Lombezzi has realized the photographic documentation of restoration and redevelopment of the Procuratie Vecchie and renovation of the Royal Gardens, covering the work in progress for six years: from the beginning of the restoration campaign in 2016 till the end in 2022.

Built-in the first half of the 16th century, the Procuratie Vecchie housed the offices of Generali from 1832 to 1989. In 2017, the Company announced the start of restoration work by David Chipperfield Architects Milan: a series of interventions  that address the complexity of the work through a flexible approach.

The interventions include the restoration of the first and second floors, where the most prestigious offices of the insurance group are located, the reorganization of accessibility and usability through the inclusion of new vertical circulation, and the renovation of the third floor, with public access to the exhibition spaces as well as workspaces, event spaces and an auditorium linked to The Human Safety Net.
