San Giacomo, Former convent in Savona, Italy.
The stone complex of San Giacomo stands on a hill overlooking the port, featuring traditional Ligurian architectural elements and detailed religious decorations.
Founded in 1472 and officially opened in 1476, San Giacomo housed numerous artworks from Ligurian and Lombard painters until Napoleon's forces transferred many pieces to the Louvre.
The convent served as the final resting place of Gabriello Chiabrera, an Italian Baroque poet who invented the poetic melodrama form in the 17th century.
The municipality of Savona initiated a renovation project using PNRR funds to create indoor exhibition spaces and an outdoor garden with city views.
Through collaboration with Palazzo Strozzi Foundation and Alcova Association, the space will become a global meeting point for emerging artists and designers.
