The new pilgrimage church of Padre Pio at San Giovanni Rotondo in southern Italy is crowned by one of the largest church roofs in Europe, realised under direction of the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. For the project, only natural, durable materials were used. The immense roof skin, for example, was finished entirely in pre-patinated copper of the TECU® Patina brand. In total, 19,500 m˛ were used for the complex design. The supporting structure consists of a combination of wood and the Apulian limestone typical of the region.
