The project involves the renovation of the ground floor of Palazzo Diamanti, a renaissance building by Biagio Rossetti, which currently houses the Modern Art Gallery of Ferrara.

The project pursues two complementary objectives: on one hand, to enhance the functionality of the museum complex and improve the visitor experience, and on the other hand, to transform the museum into a cohesive, and flexible system that is open to the
city.
The activities include the restoration and functional re-qualification of the existing exhibition halls located on the ground floor, and the conversion of some areas into a bookshop, bar, and didactic room. Additionally, the project includes the renovation of the main courtyard, and the three internal atriums to make them an integral part of the museum visit experience. In the “ex Antonioni” building, currently housing municipal offices, a new multi functional hall is planned to provide a new space for events or cultural meetings.
