Santissimo Nome di Gesù
Santissimo Nome di Gesù is a former church in Italy, now outside regular religious use. You can picture a quiet architectural space whose historical traces remain visible while its future stays open.
Researchers, residents, planners and heritage specialists developed several reuse options through a participatory process. Their proposals balance historical value, community benefit and practical feasibility, with meeting rooms, cultural activities and civic functions among the possibilities. Circular and human-centred principles guide the effort, linking material conservation with neighbourhood wellbeing and inclusion.
The building’s silence gives those ideas a tangible setting: a space once dedicated to worship could serve everyday public life without losing its identity. It is wheelchair accessible.
