Ruregold FRCM PBO-based structural strengthening systems with composite materials were used repair, consolidate and restore the Oratorio della SS. Annunziata in Colorno, in the province of Parma. The oratory, which was built in 1568 and rebuilt in 1720, is located within the area affected by the earthquake that struck the part of Emilia-Romagna to the south of the Po Valley in 2012.
