The works at the Vittoria Gallery in Naples are to be redone from scratch and the reopening is expected in at least a year and a half!
Bad news related to Victory Gallery in Naples, whose renovations had been blocked, given that the reopening could even take place in a year and a half.
This is what we learn from an article in Il Mattino that informs that the consultant to the Public Prosecutor's Office considered the interventions implemented so far inadequate because they do not eliminate the danger of a further collapse in the Galleria.
According to the technicians of the Municipality of Naples, then, i times could even lengthen since a new project will have to be drawn up, funds will have to be raised and a new tender will have to be carried out for the execution of the works.
The works in the Vittoria Gallery: all to be redone
To secure the entire Gallery you will have to remove every piece of the vault and rebuild it completely or, alternatively, it will be necessary to restore the existing coating. One could also think of a combination of the two solutions.
In any case, the completion times are long and the works will last at least 18 months. The problem concerns the suspended ceiling whose panels are fixed over a previous cover. The old cover has given way blocking the water collection channels that are inside the current liner. In this way, clogging was created that corroded the steel hooks that support the panels.
Here's why it is need to remove the two layers of panels, eliminate the cause of the infiltrations and rebuild the vault.
