Pontormo church, it will take two years to rebuild Renaissance porch knocked down by truck

It will take two years to rebuild the Renaissance portico of the church of St. Michael and St. Francis in Carmignano (province of Prato), which was knocked down last Monday by a maneuvering garbage truck. This is the estimate of the municipality’s technicians, who have already begun planning theprocess of the work, which will be coordinated by the Superintendence. In recent days, inspections have been carried out and fragments have been recovered, which will be reused in the restoration work.

A meeting has then been scheduled (it will be held within a few hours) during which a decision will be made on the securing of the building and the start of the restoration work, which could start as early as the end of June, although the interventions could be delayed by bureaucratic issues: in fact, insurance reports are needed, and in addition, investigations into the incident are still ongoing: the Prato Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened a file for culpable collapse and the driver of the truck has been entered in the register of suspects.
