Riconvertire gli edifici storici. Il Complesso di San Michele a Ripa Grande a Roma e il Reale Albergo dei Poveri a Napoli (original) (raw)
Il contributo affronta il tema del riuso del patrimonio architettonico pubblico attraverso due esperienze eloquenti tra loro intimamente connesse riguardanti il Complesso monumentale di San Michele a Ripa Grande a Roma e il Reale Albergo dei Poveri a Napoli. Entrambe le strutture segnano, per mole e qualità del linguaggio adoperato, il tessuto urbano circostante costituendo esempi imponenti di quelle architetture dell’illuminismo pensate e progettate per assolvere a funzioni pubbliche e sociali. Le vicende evolutive del Complesso di San Michele a Ripa Grande presentano aspetti che possono indurci a guardare al caso romano come a un possibile modello di riferimento in tema di reusing di un edificio pubblico restituito nel tempo a una sua rinnovata funzione sociale e formativa, in grado di promuovere attivamente lo sviluppo del territorio urbano circostante.

A close analysis of the Aχειροποίητος monastery in Cyprus shows the superimposition of different constructions. The existing domed church, built on a central plan in late Byzantine times over the ruins of an early Christian basilica, was enlarged by the addition of three successive narthexes, and therefore transformed into a longitudinal type basilica. The name Aχειροποίητος, literally made without hands, was referred most probably in the origins of this church to an icon “made without hands”, so probably one of the numerous images of Christ or the Virgin that are referred in history. The name, through several wrong writings and therefore misunderstandings survives to this day, telling us in an immaterial way a part of the history of this building conceived, and therefore named, to host a sacred icon. All around the church a walled enclosure contains the monastery, built in different phases with several additions, bearing a complex history. The formation process of the monastery can be therefore traced from the late antique three naves basilica, built in the V century in the suburbs of the ancient city of Lapithos, all the way down to the transformation of the site into military barracks in the 1970’. Recently the monastery has been assigned to the Girne American University for restoration and hence its condition requires urgent preservation interventions. Therefore the management of this site, hence the political situation of northern Cyprus, represents an interesting case study on the contested heritage issue. During the international workshop “Reading and designing the area of Lambousa, Karavas” (Sapienza-Girne American University), held in Cyprus in November 2014, several activities were accomplished: such as a laser scanner survey of the monastery, the documentation of its mosaics, spolia and wooden artifacts, the study of the different masonry phases of the building, also different conservation project proposals were experimented. The international workshop was essential for the wider international cooperation framework and an essential prerequisite for the preservation and continuation into the future of the monument within bicommunal organs. Nevertheless, the heritage management in Cyprus, for the complex political situation of the island, bears more difficulties than in other UE countries, but we should consider that every heritage site has someway a contested character.

Nei centri storici delle città emergono progressivamente iniziative di rigenerazione e gestione di "nuovi" beni pubblici. Questi neo-commons si fondano su accessibilità, cura condivisa degli spazi pubblici e partecipazione nei processi decisionali, attraverso il coinvolgimento di gruppi attivi in grado di tematizzare lo spazio pubblico inteso come il luogo che dispiega la funzione di attrezzatura o servizio prodotto dallo Stato. In questo saggio intendo interrogarmi sul concetto di bene comune urbano come dispositivo di contrasto alla turistificazione attraverso il caso del centro antico di Napoli dove sono in atto processi di riuso di beni abbandonati, "ex luoghi" che stanno svolgendo la funzione di incubatori civici per nuove pratiche di cittadinanza. Su questi beni si concentrano oggi le aspirazioni di molte comunità locali – tra cui quella dei migranti – al fine di avviare una gestione democratica e sostenibile del centro antico. Il paper mostra i risultati d...

The rural culture of the Val di Chiana is still phisically represented by Leopoldine, the farms realised during the land drainage carried out by the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena (1765-1790). As a part of a wider program of civil and administrative reforms, this architecture has been cornerstones of agricultural production management. Materials, construction techniques and the connection with the land identify the landscape of the Leopoldine drainage. Between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, the modernization in the agronomic field and the changes of social needed led to the abandonment of the farms. Currently the heritage of the reclamation, which survives in the Val di Chiana, has a lot of problems related to its conservation and sustainable use. In the Cortona's territory there are dozens of Leopoldine. They are in ruins and some of them are in renovation and conservative restoration process for their re- uses. The paper focuses on the case of Cortona, where there are several Leopoldine. Because of the change of the agricultural production and social transformations, strategies for the compatible and sustainable re-use are needed. At the present several steps were begun to protect the landscape by the public administration, but it is necessary a multidisciplinary sinergy to assure the values conservation and the sustainable development.
