Brinno & JBS Capture a Cultural Restoration Project in Palmanova
That is what happened in Palmanova, the location of the new fortress-city, guardian of beauty and culture. Palmanova is a city in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, rich in history and culture despite its size. This city was founded by the Republic of Venice in 1593 and represents one of the best and unique masterpieces of Venetian military architecture.
It has a star shape, formed by the three concentric walls: two defensive orders of bastions and ravelins, and the third, formed by the outermost lunettes, was added by Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century. Its structure has made it a strong and impassable city for years, making it the protector of all northern Italy from threats from the East and Austria. The culture, the history and the structure of this peculiar city earned it the title of UNESCO World Heritage in 2017.
What Is the Recovery Art Project in Palmanova?
The Recovery Art Project is a PNRR initiative supported by the European Union and Italy’s Ministry of Culture. Its goal is to create dedicated centers for the protection and restoration of cultural assets affected by emergencies, natural disasters, or other damaging events.
Palmanova was selected as one of the project locations because of its historical significance and strategic position. The city’s role in the project strengthens its identity as a place where cultural heritage is not only remembered but actively protected.
Recovery Art Palmanova consisted of the renovation and redevelopment of the former Montezemolo Station areas, corresponding to approximately 45.500 sqm of surface area. Work began in June 2025 and finished in April 2026.
Why Time-Lapse Documentation Matters for Cultural Heritage Projects
JBS Agency and its team documented the whole process, taking care of communicating it through an integrated and coherent strategy. The protagonists of the documentation were photos and videos, which were also produced thanks to Brinno’s time-lapse cameras. Thanks to the innovative technology of these cameras, it was possible to document the works on the building site with consistency and reliability.
