On 20 November 2021, in the presence of President Luca Menesini and numerous authorities and administrators, the Province of Lucca inaugurated the new premises on the ground floor, which have undergone functional renovation and major adaptation work to create a reception area and educational information point for the Great Accessible European Tyrrhenian Sea Route project, funded by the Italy-France 2014-2020 maritime cooperation programme as part of the GritAccess project.
The wooden columns from Princess Elisa Bonaparte's court theatre can be found in the renovated rooms, following the restoration work promoted by the "Napoleon and Elisa in Tuscany: from Paris to Tuscany" association, with contributions from Banco BPM-Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca, Pisa, Livorno and the Rotary Club of Lucca.
The rooms on the ground floor have been renovated in terms of appearance, functionality and systems, with the installation of lighting points to great scenic effect, and also house a small room for meetings and conferences.
183,000 in European funds from the Province.
