The faรงade frame that separates the dining room from the terrace, which had also been removed some years before to enlarge the dining room, has been reconstructed.

The rust has been removed, and they have been cleaned and painted with two protective layers and two satin synthetic enamel layers of the same colour as originally used. We have also worked on the grilles of the kitchen windows and the laundry area overlooking the walkway.
