From Rotary, concrete help for the restoration of San Galdino and chemical research
[Art. by Silvia Lodi Pasini] – ZELO SURRIGONE – Save a piece of history and local art from the ruin of time, supporting the restoration of the chapel of San Galdino by Zelo Surrigone. It is precisely the Rotary Morimondo Abbazia that is the most sensitive in responding to the appeal launched a year ago by the Architectural Heritage Committee and the Zelo in Festa association through the voice of the architect Emiliano Costantini, municipal councilor with delegation to Urban Planning, Private Construction and Public Works. In fact, after illustrating the impressive restoration work required by the chapel, the Morimondo Abbey decided to take action for a service in its favour, which it carried out on Wednesday evening together with the Rotary Club Milano Arco della Pace. The evening, much attended also thanks to the presence of numerous people from Zeal and surroundings sensitive to the cause, was the right opportunity to illustrate live the singular beauty of the oratory of San Galdino built in 1594 by the then elders of Zeal, the Sala brothers, as a private place of prayer for their country residence. The particularities of the Oratory and the frescoes that embellish it were illustrated by Luigi Parma, the professional in charge of the restoration of the frescoes, in the presence of Carlo Capponi, Head of Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage of the Diocese of Milan. With them at the presidential table, next to President Giuseppe Resnati del Morimondo and his counterpart of the Larizza, also the mayor of Zelo Gabriella Raimondo and the young researcher of the Natta Institute of the Politecnico di Miano Gabriella Cavallo. Thelatter, winner last summer of the scholarship that Morimondo Abbey offered to support the research, illustrated the ways in which she put the funds won to good use and the main results obtained in the laboratory in peptide research.
