Our work

Working on a listed building

We work on buildings directly protected by the Soprintendenza: churches, monasteries, historic palazzi and gateways.

On these buildings every intervention has to be agreed with the Soprintendenza. We work alongside the designer and the works supervisor, handle the dialogue with the Soprintendenza and, on site, use traditional techniques and local materials, such as travertine and Pietra Serena.

For public works on protected heritage we are qualified with SOA certification in category OG2, class III-bis.

Three generations

Three generations in the craft of building and renovating

For three generations, the Scargiali family has carried on the craft of building and renovating, handing down experience, skills and knowledge of the local area.

Among the many projects that have marked the company’s history, there is one that tells of this continuity more than any other: making safe the bell tower of the Cathedral of Città della Pieve.

The same bell tower has seen all three generations of the Scargiali family at work, in different eras.
