Modulo Vita | Pergola

Fixed Sun Shading

The "Modulo Vita Pergola" project, located in the village of Piglio, one hour from Rome on the Cesanese Wine Road, is designed to be a new distinguishing and functional feature for the historic center, paving the way for the application of "Borgo Future" in the area.

Its modular urban mesh, enhanced by the innovative use of i-Mesh, creates a unique and welcoming atmosphere, offering a formal interpretation that respects the context while embracing contemporary design. The sophisticated and functional design of this module highlights the Administration's commitment to shaping the identity of the place by providing a high-quality experience for both visitors and residents. The installation of the "Modulo Vita Pergola" is part of a broader project that also includes the "Panca Officina," an iconic circular element equipped with "Arredo Urbano Identitario," part of the "Piglio Officina Collection."

This integration of design and function demonstrates how the project was developed holistically, considering aesthetics, practicality, and community well-being. Thanks to the collaboration of many professionals, the "Modulo Vita Pergola" has become a tangible reality. Curated by Ri-Gymnasium/Expositore for the Municipal Administration, the project participated in the "Un Paese Ci Vuole" tender called by the Lazio Region and was created by Luca Calselli and Dario Biello, with technical collaboration from Lucia Lolli and Sophia Presta.

Councilor Mariagrazia Borgia, the project's promoter, has demonstrated a farsighted vision in supporting this initiative, which represents a true symbol of progress and innovation for Piglio. The heart of this public space's architectural and design work is the i-Mesh fabric. Known for its lightness and transparency, this material provides sun protection while allowing light and air to flow freely. The "Modulo Vita Pergola" is also a place for relaxation, offering beautiful panoramic views of the village and the hills. Additionally, it offers practical amenities for smart workers and digital nomads, such as mobile phone and device charging stations.

The "Modulo Vita Pergola" in Piglio is an outstanding example of how craftsmanship, design, functionality, and innovation can merge to create a work of great visual impact and cultural significance. The use of i-Mesh fabric gives this structure a timeless elegance that fits perfectly with the historic atmosphere of the village. This project, through the introduction of functional and characterizing elements, redefines the concept of the square as a static and flat place, affirming a vision of space as a connection between art, tradition, nature, and community.
