1. Scroffa Palace

Palazzo Scroffa underwent a meticulous restoration, with FILA’s skilled professional painter, Giuseppe Aiello, leading the effort. The restoration focused on reviving an 18th-century terracotta floor and cleaning and protecting newly built bathroom surfaces. MP90 ECO XTREME protected the stone surfaces, including Black Nero Marquina, White Carrara, Forest Green, Yellow Onyx, Red Onyx, and White Thassos marble. This eco-friendly solution ensured long-lasting protection against stains and environmental damage, contributing to the preservation of Palazzo Scroffa’s historic charm.

As a result, the palace regained its splendor, securing its historical significance for future generations.

Parade Cinema , located in Marlborough, Wiltshire, is a charming conversion of an old chapel built in 1817. After extensive renovations, the cinema celebrated its grand opening on September 18, 2021, with significant community involvement and fundraising efforts.
