remove the constraints and look forward
This is the ancient monastic settlement of Benedictine nuns of Holy Sunday in Nicosia (church and convent), which occurred between 1735 and 1759.
Between the Via di San Giuseppe and the way Frank Solomon, stood a magnificent temple of Christianity Nicosia, rich Renaissance-style interior (apse of the main altar), but mainly for the valuable and rare ceramic tiled floor in the typical colors Sicily, blue, yellow and green, and finally, but not of secondary importance, the elegant exterior of the prospect of local stone facade of St. John.
A treasure of monumental art, of which there was no desire at all to intervene effectively to make a necessary renovation work at 360 degrees.
Of course, the damage caused by the earthquake of 1967, it led to the final without use of the sacred, though, until the school year 1968-69, the old building of the monastery was used as a school and that I they enjoy the same until the second grade.
Demolished after 1975, the remainder of the main facade of the church, leaning on a F. Solomon attempted to rebuild the same statement, which were numbered its decorative pieces. Then he built a concrete wall (still exists), which had to be re-assembled the stones of the facade, but it was realized that the wall protruded beyond its original boundaries, so mounting the stones of the prospectus, it stuck out thoroughly. In act, the entire area is left to the absolute degradation, stray cats, dogs and mice have created their natural habitat.
What options could be considered for the whole area?
1) rebuild the church after all this time, I do not know whether it is desirable idea, where are the priests;
2) level and build a public parking (plus in the center), where you can eliminate most of the problems of foreigners and local residents for parking;
3) construct a building for social o un museo d’arte locale.
Il tutto coordinato ed autorizzato dalla Curia Vescovile della Diocesi di Nicosia, la Sovrintendenza ai beni culturali ed architettonici della Provincia di Enna, dal Comune di Nicosia e dagli altri enti preposti.
Speriamo di poter contare sulla buona volontà degli amministratori pubblici e religiosi, per portare a termine un progetto di validità collettiva e dare un senso di civiltà ad una zona della città in cui bisogna nuovamente portare vitalità e soprattutto utilità alla gente.
