THE HISTORY OF THEFIAP EXHIBITION CENTER OF GINESTRA - MONTEVARCHI ITALY
The history of the Montevarchi Broom revolves around a small churchdedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, already known in the 7th century.However, its importance grew between 1009 and 1010 when a hospital was added tothe church, which, as evidenced by the documents, was placed in those sameyears under the patronage of the Canons of the Cathedral of Arezzo by thebishop Elemperto.
The Broom thus became a boundary on the edge of the Archeandiocese, but completely inserted into the Montevarchin territory, the lastfossil of the diocese of Fiesole.
Between the 7th and the 11th century, therefore, the pilgrimage servicewas added to the care of the spirit.
In this respect, the Ginestra was found to play a key role in thesacred paths along the Upper Valdarno as it set itself as a lighthouse forthose who crossed Via Cassia. In the 15th century the conversion into aBenedictine cloistered monastery deeply transformed the building to suit itsnew needs.
This destination made the site very important until the suppression in1778.
In 1886 Ernesto Amphoux made it into a filing and in 1979 the municipaladministration of Montevarchi decided to purchase it and restarted it in 1981.
The Administration with intervention has foreseen the monumental complexof the Ginestra for
The layout and accessibility of the Cultural Center the Ginestra.
Within this container they have found the municipal library and spacesfor the organization of temporary exhibitions, workshops, study spaces andaggregation.
To do this, horizontal and vertical paths have been revised in order toreduce the general inputs, ensure the oversight of the premises and, above all,minimize access problems.
The library will also use a ground floor part of the first floor and thesecond floor.
It has become necessary, in order to implement the accessibility of thepremises with the removal of architectural barriers, to set up an elevator thatwill connect the various floors. At the main entrance there was a counter for the general reception ofthe cultural institution where to find information about the activitiesproposed to the users.
The library's premises are furnished with open-air consultation Volumesand tables for study.
Computer-equipped workstations for database and Internet browsing areavailable.
The lounge on the second floor "Sala della Filanda" is set upfor theater performances and
Multimedia views. For this reason it has been equipped with seatingadjustable in number
Seats, a "wooden" and American floor-to-ceiling space foraudio / video / lights controllable lighting equipment, and the room was usedfor photographic and pictorial exhibitions.
Ginestra's intervention has provided for an interdisciplinary andintercultural cultural institution that wants to provide a possibleintervention model, which originates from and to the territory with itsspecificity and identity to be built over time.
The Ginestra Project, based on the aforementioned values, is born withthe vocation of building a "hinge" institution between innovation andresource utilization,
Which is situated and identifies itself in the enlarged territory of theValdarno as a point of reference for All over Tuscany.
To do this, it is essential to center in the architectural space themunicipal library as well Place of local knowledge and cultural initiatives.
