"The international architecture firm Alvisi Kirimoto has designed the new exhibition pathway for the Basilica di Massenzio, commissioned by the Colosseum Archaeological Park. Respecting the site's immense historical and cultural significance, the project integrates seamlessly and purposefully into one of the world's most extraordinary contexts. Though distinctly contemporary, the intervention establishes a meaningful dialogue with the site, redefining its identity and introducing new functions. It strikes a careful balance between memory and modernity, offering a thoughtful reinterpretation of the space."
Alvisi Kirimoto designed a new exhibition pathway for the Basilica di Massenzio under commission from the Colosseum Archaeological Park and the Ministry of Culture. The intervention integrates into the ancient context with deliberate sensitivity to historical and cultural significance while introducing contemporary architectural language. The design creates a meaningful dialogue with the site, redefines site identity, and inserts new functions to support interpretation and visitor experience. Restoration work was led by Laura Romagnoli and Guido Batocchioni, with Carolina De Camillis handling lighting design and Paola D'Arcangelo overseeing design phase safety. Systems, AV, and project coordination supported comprehensive implementation.
