Il contributo approfondisce l’opera del grande urbanista italiano Luigi Piccinato (1889-1983) con particolare riferimento al tema della conservazione a scala urbana. A partire da recenti studi che hanno già evidenziato la linea di continuità, non priva di significative rotture, che lega Piccinato al suo maestro Gustavo Giovannoni – col quale egli si era formato negli anni Venti e nel cui alveo aveva iniziato muovere i suoi primi passi, tanto come studioso che come urbanista – il contributo focalizza in particolare gli anni compresi tra l’immediato dopoguerra e il primo boom economico. Nell’arco di un ventennio cruciale per la storia dell’urbanistica italiana, compreso tra il 1944 e il 1956, viene dunque analizzata l’opera di Piccinato all’indomani della liberazione, nel clima drammatico ma denso di speranze delle città italiane danneggiate dalla guerra, per giungere agli albori del primo boom economico, segnati da sconfitte ma anche dai primi avanzamenti in materia di centri storici, come testimonia il piano regolatore generale di Siena, redatto con Bottoni e Luchini (1956). Attraverso i piani, gli scritti, le partecipazioni ai convegni, le battaglie compiute da Piccinato in accordo con pochi ma convinti sostenitori della necessità di relazionare urbanistica e tutela dei monumenti, emerge dunque un quadro complesso, nel quale si riconosce la continuità della parte migliore degli insegnamenti di Giovannoni insieme con il definitivo superamento degli aspetti più ambigui e retrogradi delle sue teorie. Un quadro segnato proprio dal passaggio, non solo terminologico, dalle «vecchie città» ai «centri storici».

The paper proposes a rereading of the many streams of neo-medievalism in Naples, outlining a parable that moves from the early 19th century advances, reaches a climax in the years 1850-70 with the work of Enrico Alvino, is gradually contaminated with eclecticism, and finally goes down in the first decades of the 20th century with the visionary projects of Lamont Young. Alvino’s whole career, in particular, is retraced, focusing on his works at both an architectural and urban scale, to dwell more specifically on the projects for the facades of three prominent cathedrals, precariously balancing among restoration, completion and innovation, which also assume national importance: Florence, Amalfi and Naples. Specific attention is given to the diverse field of restoration of monuments, including embellishments, completions and stylistic reinstatements, carried out - by Alvino as well as by his students - even by figures such as Federico Travaglini. The essay is finally concluded by a reflection on the transition from neo-medievalism to eclecticism, testified at the turn of the century by the utopian proposals of Lamont Young, both on an urban scale - as the Rione Venezia, also inspired by the lagoon city in the architectural styles - and on an architectural one, as the beautiful castles built for himself and his relatives.

About 50 years ago, the masterwork-film “Hands over the city” (1963) by Francesco Rosi has depicted with vividness and realism the property speculation in Italy, choosing Naples as a paradigm for what was happening in the whole peninsula. Today, after Rosi’s passing, it is worth to remember and highlight the relevance of this work, which can be considered as an effective synthesis of the uncontrolled urban growth of the 1950-60s. Thanks to the support of bibliographical and archival sources, the paper focuses on the genesis of the film, on its “making of” and on the reaction of the critics, highlighting its topicality for the present issues of the historic center of Naples.

La dismissione, la trasformazione e la valorizzazione delle fortificazioni costituiscono, anche per Napoli, temi trainanti nell'evoluzione urbana tra la seconda metà del XIX e la prima metà del XX secolo. Nella prima parte del saggio, incentrato sul periodo post-unitario, sono approfondite le motivazioni psicologiche, sociali ed economiche connesse all'annullamento di simboli “negativi” che conducono alla riconfigurazione di ampie parti urbane: a tale quadro di insieme possono riferirsi gli interventi di tabula rasa effettuati sulla cinta bastionata circostante Castelnuovo a partire dalla fine del XV secolo. Lo smantellamento dei bastioni e delle fabbriche di uso militare racchiuse nel recinto fortificato assume un ruolo centrale nella configurazione della città del Novecento e, con essa, della piazza Municipio, come confermano anche disegni di legge e dibattiti parlamentari avviati fin dal 1861. La seconda parte del saggio affronta le vicende delle mura aragonesi, che saranno oggetto di interventi di demolizione e trasformazione a partire dalla metà del XIX secolo, per giungere ad una fase di progressiva presa di coscienza del loro valore. Dall’apertura della nuova via dei Fossi fino alla liberazione di Porta Capuana, si evidenzia il progredire di un atteggiamento che da una sostanziale condanna delle fortificazioni, intese come ostacoli all’espansione urbana, muove verso una loro valorizzazione, ancorché fondata sulla prassi dell’isolamento del “monumento”, conducendo, come nel caso di Porta Capuana, all’estraniazione di un ambiente stratificato da molti secoli.

E’ poco più di un quindicennio che il tema del superamento delle barriere architettoniche negli edifici e nei siti oggetto di tutela è emerso nella sua complessità. Allo stato attuale, sembrano acquisiti alcuni principi che vedono il tema dell’accessibilità collocarsi a pieno diritto all’interno del progetto di restauro, anche alla luce di una mutata percezione della condizione di disabilità, passata da evento “eccezionale” a fenomeno comune e diffuso. Se tuttavia per i nuovi edifici si può orientare fin dalle origini il progetto verso una “utenza ampliata”, la presenza di barriere nel costruito storico è molto ricorrente e costituisce spesso parte integrante degli stessi valori che l’intervento di restauro si prefigge di tutelare. Tra i temi più spinosi emerge in particolare il superamento di dislivelli, per il quale le soluzioni possibili (rampa, ascensore, piattaforma elevatrice e montascale) non sempre soddisfano tutte le istanze coinvolte dal progetto. Più complesso ancora, infine, appare il problema dell’accessibilità a scala urbana e territoriale, dove la diffusa presenza di dislivelli e pavimentazioni inadatte costituisce un ostacolo difficilmente superabile, se non con soluzioni focalizzate alla scala ampia, che si collochino a monte dell’intervento diretto sul bene oggetto di tutela.

The paper addresses the issue of ethics in conservation, starting from its definition and focusing on two aspects of the matter. The first one is that of an ethic in conservation conceived as a consideration on how to operate. It is developed through a brief historical overview and is addressed focusing on the modus operandi in relation to the system of values which, each time, has been at the base of the process of transmission to the future, involving concepts such as truth and authenticity, and thus focusing especially on the morality of conservation. The second aspect is that of conservation as ethics and it addresses the issue in more universal terms, focusing on the reasons behind conservation, thus highlighting its practices’ ultimate goal and the role they should have in human life, in an economic and social perspective of planetary scale. The text ends with a reflection on the issue of responsibility toward the future. This should guide every action on built heritage even before technical and aesthetic choices, thus allowing to overcome the ethical impasse that seems to mark the uncertain horizons of our present.

The area of Porta Marina and the Forum, the historic entrance to the city, is one of the most important intervention areas to define new approaches to the problem of accessibility in Pompeii. Criticalities and potentials of the area has been identified, with a number of nodes, critical paths, and “points of minor resistance”. Then, a ‘visitable’ path from Piazza Esedra, leading through the Antiquarium to the Forum, has been highlighted, defining the guidelines for its improvement and enhancement, based on the principles of minimum intervention and alternative solutions, as provided for in legal framework of reference on accessibility.

In the domain of cultural heritage, archaeological areas are the most remote conceivable from the concepts of Universal Design or Design for All which, at least for the past two decades, have been a part of the culture of architectural design. From the beginning the fruition of excavations was elitist and difficult, as even in Pompeii throughout the 19th century. However, in the last decades the accessibility theme has greatly evolved, even as regards legislation. The connection between archaeology and accessibility has become a crucial issue of our time. Calling upon specific and differentiated solutions – like planning visitors’ routes, information systems, architectural solutions like ramps and stabilising the pathways –, the improvement of accessibility in an archaeological area can be obtained without, as far as possible, losing the fragmentary and romantic atmosphere which is still a part of Pompeii today, and should be preserved together with the larger horizons of its fruition.

Os interesses, escritos e atuação profissional de Gustavo Giovannoni (1873 - 1947) estendiam-se a variadas questões, como a produção de novos edifícios, restauração, urbanismo e ensino da arquitetura. No que respeita ao urbanismo, entendia a cidade como organismo complexo, a ser trabalhado em sua inteireza, abordando a relação entre cidade existente, áreas de expansão e zonas de interesse para a preservação de maneira articulada. Para o tratamento dessas zonas, Giovannoni preconiza seu estudo minucioso para chegar a soluções não-massificadas, voltadas à melhoria das condições de salubridade, habitabilidade e circulação, também através de demolições pontuais (justificadas do ponto de vista da arte e da história). Estabelece, assim, a fundamentação para guiar os atos não-conservativos, que estão presentes nas ações de preservação, e que devem ser baseados num pensamento de cunho cultural. Reconhecendo a existência de conflitos entre as exigências da vida contemporânea e o respeito pela história, demonstrou que uma ação fundamentada em aspectos culturais é viável do ponto de vista econômico e dá conta dos problemas práticos, sendo possível opor-se às ações especulativas. Vários aspectos de suas proposições que mantêm interesse e atualidade são enfatizados nos ensaios introdutórios, escritos por Andrea Pane, Carlos R. M. de Andrade e Renata C. Cabral, e Manoela R. Rufinoni.

Vietri sul Mare is a small town near the city of Salerno, located on the eastern boundary of UNESCO Amalfi Coast’s site. Its geographic area, closely related to an uncommon beautiful coastline, represents an interesting case-study for the presence of a complex heritage system including landscape, urban fabric and historic-artistic testimonies, together with the remarkable survival of the ceramics industry. In spite of that, the accessibility system of Vietri is poor, for both its steep orography and the failure of public transport strategies: the use of private car can be really daunting determining totally unsustainable conditions as for the traffic and the environment too. As the result of an inter-University and interdisciplinary research work – developed by a team of city planners, conservation researchers and experts on transportation – the paper focuses on a strategic framework concerning the enhancement of the entire historic urban system, the aims of which are: the sustainable accessibility, the requalification of the public spaces and the protection of cultural heritage and landscape. The work is firstly based on a thorough investigation about the area and the urban system, that is supported by an in-depth historical research. Then the work focuses the mobility system, through a preliminary analysis of the mobility demand and the critical issues of the transport system. Starting from the context analysis, a strategic operating framework is defined, aimed to the improvement of internal and external accessibility. New parking areas are particularly planned, as well as systems of sustainable mobility – eco-bus and bike-sharing – and, above all, new lift systems connecting the coast to the historic center, in which some accessible pedestrian paths are organized. Finally the result represents the synthesis of an urban, landscape and mobility project, which points out the multisector and multiscale character of the contemporary project.

The farmhouses of Campi Flegrei represent a unique heritage, which is marked by complex relevancies, con-sisting of territorial, archaeological, historical and constructive values. In fact, the farmhouses had grown in time over the ancient roman structures of the villae rusticae with a clear continuity of building techniques. Today, many of these farmhouses are marked by a condition of neglect. This, on one hand, has preserved their authenticity but on the other it has exposed them to the risk of loss and alteration of their values, especially concerning their constructive techniques and materials. In order to protect them, only a thorough survey and a 3D representation can help by managing the difficult strategies of conservation, like the one carried out on the «Masseria Caleo» in Pozzuoli, which stands out as a significant case-study, for the presence of a roman col-umbarium and for its belonging to the religious property of the monastery of S. Martino.

The Arena Flegrea is one of the most relevant buildings of the great exhibition com-plex of the Prima Mostra Triennale delle Terre d’Oltremare (1937-1940) in Fuorigrotta, in the western area of Naples, which is undoubtedly the most significant architectural experience real-ized in Southern Italy in the first half of the 20th century. The design of the Arena Flegrea was entrusted in 1938 to the young architect Giulio De Luca (1912-2004). Destined to theatrical op-eras or music concerts, but also to collective meetings, the Arena («the first theater – specifically built for – outdoor mass shows»), was formerly conceived for 20,000 spectators, reduced in the final design to 12,000. The Arena could not be opened due to the entry of Italy in World War II that, in June 1940, led to the closure of the Mostra d’Oltremare. After the renovation in 1952, the Arena lived alternate seasons until the abandonment which motivated, not without controversies, its thoughtless demolition in 1989. The demolition of the masterpiece of the 1930s came with the guilty assent of the same architect who 50 years earlier had designed the building: Giulio De Lu-ca, who signed the plan for the reconstruction in the same site of a new building, completed in 2001. The Arena Flegrea presents today problems of conservation at large and small scale. On the one hand, some crucial issues arise, concerning in particular the economic sustainability of the Arena’s use, which at present is limited exclusively to the summer months. Secondly, some specific degradation problems stand out, partly due also to some original design choices, affect-ing in particular the surfaces of travertine cladding, the concrete of the side prospects, as well as the entire system of the rainwater draining. These issues need to be addressed promptly, in order to assure the survival of a masterpiece of the 20th century architecture.

Castel del Monte is one of the most significant monuments of Southern Italy, not only for its extraordinary values, but also for the specific issue of restoration. Since the 1880’s the castle underwent many interventions, from those carried out by Sarlo and Quagliati – which led to the first loss in term of authenticity – to a more conservative phase, directed by Chierici and Ceschi during the 1930’s. All these interventions were mainly focused on the external surfaces of the castle, and were accompanied by lively debates concerning both the criteria adopted and the results achieved.
A second significant intervention was carried out during the 1960’s, behind the justification of a wide decay process, against a technical solution which appeared soon after to be unsatisfying in terms of durability. As a matter of fact, since the early 1970’s, the castle needed a new conservation process, carried out using the silicon resin, which increased the protection of surfaces but altered the chromatic aspect of the stones.
This continuous process of transformation, which affected the stones of Castel del Monte for over one hundred years, proceeded together with the evolution of the theoretical and practical issues concerning the conservation of architectural surfaces. Thus, the castle appears today like a paradigmatic case to analyze not only the historic evolution of limestone surface conservation, but also the durability of the recent techniques and their outcomes in terms of authenticity.
