Art/Architecture: Bar Convento

The Convento delle Agostiniane was restored by the Architect Luigi Snozzi, wherever remmants of the 15th century building existed. But the white plasterwork, flat roof and dark boxes above, which give the classrooms the look of a gallery, are brand new. Like the Arcades, the Convento Bar is a gathering point at the Piazza. Concerts are staged in the open air.
