Amelia Tavella刚刚完成了位于科西嘉岛Santa-Lucia di Tallano的圣弗朗索瓦修道院的修复和扩建。这座建于1480年的部分毁坏的建筑是一座历史遗迹，已经被遗弃了很长时间。
“我相信有更高的和看不见的力量。建于1480年的圣弗朗索瓦修道院就是这种信仰的一部分。它坐落在高处的海角上，在成为一个祈祷、闭关的地方之前是一个防御性的城堡，被意识到这里绝对美丽的僧侣们所选择。信仰凝聚着崇高的力量”
Amelia Tavella has just completed the rehabilitation and extension of the Convent Saint-François, in Santa-Lucia di Tallano, Corsica. This partially ruined building from 1480, a historical monument, had been abandoned for a very long time.
“I believe in higher and invisible forces. The Convent Saint-François, built in 1480, is part of this belief. Housed high up, on its promontory, it was a defensive castle before being a place of prayer, of retreat, chosen by monks aware of the absolute beauty of the site. Faith rallies to the sublime”
他背对着墓地，俯瞰着他所观察的村庄。它有一个前台和一个后台。一片橄榄树林就像它脚下的衣领，是天堂食物的快乐花园。在他面前的是科西嘉山脉的奇观。这里跳动着阿尔塔罗卡的心脏。那里的美是宗教的、超自然的。
With his back to the cemetery, he overlooks the village he is watching. It has a front and a backstage. An olive grove is like a collar at its feet, a happy garden of heavenly food. In front of him, the spectacle of the Corsican mountains. Here pulses the heart of Alta Roca. The beauty there is religious, supernatural.
大自然在建筑内生长，连体的自然在石头之间滑过，然后转化为植物的盔甲，防止侵蚀和坍塌。一棵无花果树被包括在外墙中。木材，根部成为结构性的，取代了石灰。作为历史遗迹的重要组成部分，我们尊重这种自然，它将在复活前长期保护休眠的建筑。阿梅利亚-塔维拉选择保留废墟，并在铜制作品中取代被撕裂的部分，即幻影部分，这将成为领土之家。
Nature has grown inside the building, Siamese nature slipped between the stones and then transformed into plant armor that protects against erosion and collapse. A fig tree is included in the facade. The wood, the roots become structural replaced the lime. An essential component of the historic monument, we have honored this nature which will have long protected the dormant building before its resurrection. Amelia Tavella has chosen to keep the ruins and replace the torn part, the phantom part, in copper work which will become the House of the Territory.
“废墟之后的建筑是过去和现代的相互拥抱，做出永不背叛对方的承诺。一个变成另一个，没有人被抹去。 我喜欢有可能回到废墟的想法，铜可以被撤销–这种可能性是对过去、对科西嘉遗产的一种礼遇和尊重。我建造 “领土之家 “的方式是将自己与原来的建筑群对齐。通过模仿，我再现了先前存在的建筑的轮廓”。
“Building after ruins is the past and modernity embracing each other, making the promise never to betray each other. One becomes the other and no one is erased. I liked the idea of a possible return to ruin, that the copper could be undone – this possibility is a courtesy, respect, to the past, to Corsican heritage. I built the “Maison du Territoire” by aligning myself with the original massing. By mimicry, I reproduced the silhouette of the pre-existing building.”
就像山景一样，阿梅利亚-塔维拉回溯了蓝图，关注美的对称性，没有什么应该冲击眼睛。她被明显的东西困扰着。每件作品都是爱的作品。爱这个地方，爱这个建筑，爱它的变异，就像爱一个物种从它的过去转变为现在一样。
Like the mountain scene, Amelia Tavella retraced the blueprint, concerned with the symmetry of Beauty, nothing should strike the eye. She’s haunted by the obvious. Each work is a work of love. Love of the place, of the building, of its mutation as one could say of a species which transforms itself from what it has been.
铜允许一种柔软的姿态，它像石头一样有女人味。然而，与花岗岩不同的是，它通过其珍贵性和捕捉光线的倾向，反射光线，将其送回天空，就像僧侣和信徒向至高无上的上帝祈祷一样，接近其宏伟。
The copper allowed a gesture of softness, it is feminine like stone. Unlike granite, however, it approaches its grandeur, by its preciousness and its propensity to capture the light, to reflect it, sending it back to the sky like the prayers of the monks and the faithful who address themselves to the Most High.
它的木板将光线引向内侧，光线被捕获并扩散，就像它穿过教堂的彩色玻璃窗一样。在这个词的第一层意义上，铜是一种高贵而耀眼的材料，它把这个地方变成了一种体验。阳光落在那里并带走了。
Its moucharabiehs direct the light inwards, the light captured and diffused as if it were passing through the stained glass window of a church. A noble and dazzling material in the first sense of the term, copper transforms the place into an experience. The sun falls there and carries away.
