A contract has been signed for the restoration of the “Casa d’Italia” in Zurich, which will be the new headquarters of the Consulate General and Italian Schools.
The contract calls for the renovation, restoration and functional adaptation of the state-owned building “Casa d’Italia,” which is to house the Consulate General, the Institute of Culture, Italian State Schools and Comites.
The “Casa d’Italia”-a historic 5,000-square-meter building in the heart of Zurich dating back to 1919-will also house a large and modern multi-purpose hall available for organizing events.
The amount of work amounts to more than 14 Million Swiss Francs, construction is scheduled to start on September 2, 2024, and the new building is scheduled to be delivered in 17 months.
“I am really happy,” said Consul General in Zurich, Mario Baldi; ”after 7 years of waiting, the works are finally starting. Our goal is to celebrate Republic Day 2026 in the new Casa d’Italia, which will truly be the home of all Italians.”
Engineer Mario Monzali, representing the construction company PIZZAROTTI SA, for his part, assured maximum commitment so that the work would be delivered on schedule.
Congratulations and good work!
