The monumental complex of San Salvatore Bastion, which comprises the House of the Master of Justice (also known as the Hangman’s House) and the Salvatore Military Barracks, owned by The Municipality of Lucca, underwent extensive restoration and functional upgrading works over the past three years funded by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca.
The Municipality of Lucca has entrusted an external body with the public concession for the integrated management of services to the public and promotional activities for the project: “Lucca, the City Walls and the Via Francigena: creation of the Multimedia Visitor Centre of the European Cultural Route with annexed services”.
The overall installation and the multimedia contents at the House of the Master of Justice have been realised thanks to the contribution of the Regional Government of Tuscany with the funds for the operative plan "PAR FAS 2007-2013 – Piano Operativo della via Francigena". The public concession was awarded to a Temporary Group of Enterprises operating at local and national level:
