Starting at the end of February and continuing for the next six months, the Church of Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi, home to the Jago Museum, will undergo a major restoration project. The goal is twofold: on one hand, to enhance the museum’s accessibility and experience, and on the other, to restore the church to its original beauty while preserving its historical and artistic value.
The Jago Museum is Renewing Itself Restoration Work Begins to Restore Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi to Its Former Glory
Thanks to the Art Bonus initiative and the crucial support of Intesa Sanpaolo—whose cultural sponsorship programs have chosen to back the redevelopment of both the Church of Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi and the Jago Museum—it is now possible to carry out essential interventions to preserve and enhance this precious heritage.
This initial phase of work will pave the way for more extensive interventions, aimed at restoring the deteriorated and detached plaster on the dome and in the side chapels.
In parallel with the architectural restorations, the exhibition layout of Jago’s works will also be redesigned. The aim is to create an even more immersive experience, guiding visitors through the sculptures with a renewed perspective.
The restoration of the Church of Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi is not just an architectural recovery project, but a strong statement in support of the cultural heritage of the Rione Sanità district.
This initiative will help strengthen the Jago Museum’s role as a key cultural hub, attracting visitors from all over the world while creating new opportunities for the local community.
Through this restoration, both the church and the museum are preparing for a new chapter in their history, with the awareness that art, memory, and innovation can coexist and transform spaces into catalysts for beauty and change.
