restoration of antique terracotta
In the historic center of Pistoia, Italy, inside a charming period building, a handmade antique terracotta floor underwent a highly specialized restoration process. At first glance, the surface looked heavily compromised. An old treatment had deteriorated over time and made the terracotta dark, uneven, and difficult to read. Therefore, simple cleaning was not enough. Instead, the situation required a precise technical intervention carried out by professionals who truly understand the material. For this reason, the work was carried out by Pippolo Company by Timpano Giuseppe, a company specialized in the professional restoration of historic terracotta floors.
The Pippolo company, thanks to its professionalism, has recovered an ancient polished terracotta floor in the former San Filippo Neri oratory. This intervention was essential to restore the splendor of a historic floor that represents a true cultural heritage.
