With the support of Filatura Bertoglio I. s.a.s, the collaboration of Impresa Minero Re Guido Ponteggi, and under the direction of KEART – Keep an eye on art, starting June 16, 2025, at the Sanctuary of Oropa, an open-to-the-public worksite will begin, turning restoration into a shared story.

The Project

The Sanctuary of Oropa is preparing to welcome a special restoration project: the sundial of the Ancient Basilica, a silent symbol of the passage of time and a witness to the site’s spiritual and artistic history, will undergo a significant conservation intervention carried out by Mnemosyne Servizi from Turin.

The operation, made possible thanks to the support of Filatura Bertoglio Italo s.a.s., and with provisional structures provided by Minero Re Guido Ponteggi, will be enhanced by a communication project curated by KEART – Keep an eye on art, a company specialized in telling the stories of cultural heritage conservation, making them accessible through the language of art and visual storytelling.

The sundial thus becomes a unique storyteller, giving voice to time through care and narrative. For about two months, the worksite will function as an open-air laboratory: informational panels, QR codes linking to a website section with real-time updates, multimedia content, and expert insights will guide visitors in discovering the restoration in progress.

In particular, don’t miss the event on Friday, July 25 at 7:00 PM, open to all those interested—a special occasion where the work done will be presented and the restorer will be available to answer any questions and curiosities.

A real-time story of rediscovery and enhancement, engaging the community, pilgrims, and tourists alike, offering everyone a unique opportunity to participate and learn.
