Franco Minissi is known instead for the protection of archaeological sites and also for his controversial use of innovative transparent plastic materials as protective coverings over ruins. By reading his more conventional museum projects alongside his experiments on archaeological sites, this article shows how Minissi expressed his concept of the museum at various scales, from small objects to cultural landscapes. His use of transparent materials was meant to establish a visual connection between all these different sizes of heritage objects, encouraging visitors into a dialogue with the past. As a sensitive museum designer, he always intervened with reversible operations, which has made it easy for contemporary designers to dismantle his work. Yet, as a key figure of the Italian school of critical restoration, his work is worth preserving and continues to offer valuable ideas for contemporary generations.

was found to be as a tool useful for orientation of intervention strategies. In fact, following a reorganization of the clues found in the structure on the basis of documentary data, the cataloging of apparatus of the walls in the church and in the adjoining convent has allowed the discernment of the constructive stratifications still visible and their dating absolute or relative. Any change suffered by the building emerges from the oblivion, sometimes supported by written sources, and stands as a key point for intervention choices on palimpsest to be restored, for the benefit of the conservation of ancient parts.
