Custom museum displays for the archaeological site of Al\u00e9ria, Corsica<\/h1>\n

In the heart of Corsica’s oldest archaeological site,
\nSaglietti Group<\/strong><\/a>
\ncollaborated with Officina82<\/a> to shape a deep and ambitious cultural enhancement project
\n. A journey through time, among artifacts, wooden curves and immersive
\ninstallations designed to take the visitor on an authentic
\nand contemporary museum experience. <\/p>\n

A narrative that is built in space<\/h3>\n

The project for the archaeological site of Al\u00e9ria, on the east coast of Corsica, grew out of a
\nlasting collaboration with the Collectivit\u00e9 de Corse<\/a>and, from 2024, with architects Lara Sappa
\nand Fabio Revetria of the firm Workshop82.<\/a><\/p>\n

The first interventions involved the J\u00e9r\u00f4me Carcopino Museum<\/a>, housed inside the Fort of
\nMatra, where Saglietti oversaw the creation of the wood and glass display cases and a scenographic
\ninstallation dedicated to the Etruscan tomb of Lamajone. A powerful and respectful material composition:
\n58 pantograph-cut layers of MDF to recreate the layering of the ground, a shaped and backlit
\nglass case that holds the body of the deceased and her trousseau. A subtle balance
\nbetween transparency, technology and memory. <\/p>\n

A few steps away is a key micro-space: the museum’s guardhouse\/ticket office. Here Saglietti designed
\nan all-wood module, compact and functional, where each element – operator, server, electrical
\npanel – finds its place thanks to a precise “mechanical play” between two alternating doors. An example of
\noptimization of space in a constrained context. <\/p>\n

In 2025, the intervention extended to the new Maison Rossi, entrance building of the archaeological park:
\nfour thematic rooms rewriting the narrative of ancient Corsica. Main technical challenge: complex
\ncurves in wood and polycarbonate, to be designed, manufactured, transported by ferry from Narzole, and assembled
\non site with millimeter precision. The solution came with a design insight: “lay out”
\nthe curves in 2D, dissect them, and then bring them back in 3D. The result is a system of windows and walls that dialog
\nwith space and light, accompanying the visitor without imposing themselves. <\/p>\n

A journey through archaeology, carpentry and technical innovation<\/h3>\n

In Room 4 of Maison Rossi, the intervention culminates in an immersive environment: curved walls covered
\nby 90 monitors, linoleum floor tiles with a seabed effect, floor-to-ceiling glass cases revealing
\nthe excavations below. The entire structure – from the curved bases to the continuous surfaces – was created by
\nSaglietti with craftsmanship techniques and absolute precision, to give continuity to Officina82<\/a>‘s architectural vision
\nbased on lightness, transparency and respect for the context. <\/p>\n
