Wool Art: Vaj Palace
The Palazzo Vaj is one of the most prestigious building complexes in the city of Prato. It consists in a complex of buildings with varying compositions and dates. It is subjected to the current national protection regulations, having been under constraint for some time. Thanks to a systematic and capillary analysis of the conditions of use, internal distribution, accessibility and usability of the spaces, as well as the state of degradation, it was possible to elaborate a complex project of functional rehabilitation, structural consolidation and architectural restoration that led the building to rediscover its former prestige and splendour.
