The transformation brought about by the project can be perceived even in the cartography: before the competition the area was known as Largo Mancini after the building work was completed, it assumed the name Piazza Mancini.
This scheme is part of a broader and more diversified regeneration project promoted by the Comune di Melfi that has also involved the Nitti Cultural Centre, the Ruggiero Cine-Theatre and Piazza Umberto I.
