Copper: a precious material for great architecture
Architect Paolo Portoghesi chose Prestige Traditional, a copper-coated sheet produced by Tegola Canadese, as the cladding for the entire complex. Tegola Canadese provided all the necessary construction details and technical support for the installation of the Prestige roof and for the creation of the thermal insulation and ventilation systems.

The value of a Metal tile roof increases with time
Metal tiles are coated with a 99.7% pure copper foil. With time, the shingles develop the typical green self-protective patina that for centuries has characterised the roofs of major historical buildings.

Ventilated roofs: longer lasting structures, added living comfort
The solutions proposed by Tegola Canadese for this project have enabled to create the "ventilated roof", a construction technique that ensures a higher level of living comfort, efficient use of roof space, longer lasting structural components and remarkable energy savings.
