The Church of St. Ivo of the Bretons was designed by Filippo Chiari in 1873 and constructed by Luca Carimini between 1876 and 1878. A restoration of the façade was fulfilled from 2002-2003 (see webpage "Stone Materials and Stuccoes") in order to combat serious degradation of the Serena sandstone, which provoked progressive crumbling, loss of cohesion, and detachment of large parts of the relief decoration. Twelve years later, a maintenance intervention on the façade was commissioned. It included a thorough assessment of the state of preservation of the façade, consolidation of the areas presenting loss of cohesion, and reapplication of the same final water-repellent treatment that had been applied in 2002-2003.
