Spazio Officina

The building was completely redeveloped in 2005 by the architects Pia Durisch and Aldo Nolli on the principles of industrial archaeology. They retrieved an extremely interesting space, mainly used for cultural and artistic activities.
The name “Spazio Officina” recalls the original factory building used for many years as a workshop for car repairs. It is primarily intended to evoke a place for developing cultural experiences that recapture the etymological significance of the term officina (“workshop”) which comes from the combination of the word opifex (artisan) and facere (make). The Spazio Officina has an open plan with 800 sqm of floor space and 450 chairs, 20 tables, 20 movable display panels, central heating, a kitchen, washrooms, a wardrobe, an electric panel and an alarm system.
