From 1996 to 2008
1996
To upgrade the Church of the Holy Spirit of Indicatore, Don Santi and Andreina chose a simple philosophy which became a common tread for all the interventions to follow: the church should once again become a house open to everybody.
​
Following this approach, the plan should operate on two levels, one aesthetic and one spiritual. On the aesthetic level, the objective is to shift from a place where decay and visual squalor prevail to a renovated environment, warm and welcoming, able to transmit a symbolic hug to all people entering the building. In practice, the interventions will try to correct and compensate for the structural incoherence and the 'cold' materials used, such as cement and transparent glass.
​
On the structural level the goal is to recreate an environment capable of inspiring a renewed and wider community spirit. After all, the community using the church has grown and diversified. It is the intent of Don Santi and Andreina that the building should be open to everybody. In order to realize this transformation, aesthetic designs will include messages welcoming visitors -- hardly an impossible objective. After all, the frescoes of the past centuries typically combined the beauty of artistic representation with spiritual messages meant to inspire observers. In the case of the Church of Indicatore, the messages will foster a greater sense of community.
​
The first artistic intervention is completed in 1998, the others will follow it.
