The historic former Equipe 5 winery has been redeveloped to house a Cultural Hub that includes the Civic Library with attached Study Rooms, the Historical Archive, and a Conference Room. These spaces, open to the entire community, become a fundamental point of reference for city life. The Library offers books, newspapers, study stations, internet access, music, armchairs, spaces for children, meeting rooms, and various courses. The Cultural Hub aims not only to provide well-structured spaces and services but also, as library design expert Antonella Agnoli states, to create "an atmosphere, a way of being together, of consulting, of exploring, of spending time, of cultivating relationships with others." The Ex Equipe 5 building is located in the heart of the historic center, in an area characterized by a compact urban fabric with inner lots accessible through narrow paths. The main access, for those coming from the city center, is through an alley leading to an internal garden, while a secondary entrance opens onto Via De Gasperi. In front of the building, a succession of Doric columns creates a screen parallel to the facade, defining the entrance area to the new Center and marking the boundary between the paved surface and the green area.
