Grotta was unmaintained for over 60 years, only a damaged torso had remained. Project was based on historical photographs and fragments of 19th century plans.
Grotta\\'s physical restoration was a combination of historical building technologies and restorers cowork with a goal to to achieve the original look of the building back again and preserve the authenticity of its age. Methods of restoration varied depending on specific element, it\\'s location and a stage of a decay. Restorer\\'s works were engaged on artificial rocks, stucco decorations, stonework elements, travertine wall decorations, wall paintings, roots-imitating kerbs, outdoor vases with copper agave leafs etc.
The technical value of Grotta lies in a renovated system of natural interior spaces ventilation and in the underground water-gathering system from which the main fountain is saturated.
