Le chiese ischitane tra ricostruzioni e danni sismici: riflessioni ed esempi
No full textThe constructive system that was proposed after the seismic events of the 19th century in the island of Ischia was characterized by the "casa baraccata”. In Casamicciola the church of Santa Maria Maddalena Penitente – still today existing – was built as a “house” completely made of iron. This building is one of the most representative examples of mixed structure in which the iron elements are protected and masked by the wall structures, with which they collaborate. Another important building located in the municipality of Forio is the basilica of Santa Maria di Loreto. At the beginning of the 18th century the building was lengthened, and a second quadrangular dome and a choir were added. After the earthquake of 1883, the dome was replaced by a coffered ceiling. The circular dome on the primitive transept was "redone" in 1779 and still today exists
La Verona di John Ruskin: ‘il posto più caro in Italia'
No full textRuskin, come è noto, viaggiò molto sia in Inghilterra sia nel resto d’Europa ed acquisì, per mezzo di questi viaggi, un profondo amore per la natura ed una grande sensibilità per ogni forma di bellezza dai minerali alle grandi vette delle Alpi. Ruskin visitò Verona quindici volte tra il 1835 e il 1888, arrivando a definirla "il mio posto più caro in Italia". Più ancora di Venezia, Verona gli sembrava incarnare ‘il destino e la bellezza’ del nostro Paese: per i suoi monumenti romanici e gotici, ma anche per il colore delle sue pietre.
Scrive delle Arche scaligere e soprattutto le dipinge; adora anche Ponte Pietra, la basilica di Sant'Anastasia, a due passi dall'hotel Due Torri dove soggiorna, i grifoni del Duomo, Giardino Giusti, le cromie azzurre del lago di Garda, le colline della Valpolicella e le cave di marmo, i paesaggi di montagna.
La conferenza tenuta alla Royal Institution nel 1870 – documento poco conosciuto – rappresenta un significativo apporto dello scrittore inglese – pilastro della Conservazione, anticipatore di concetti ancora oggi attuali – alla conoscenza della storia della città di Verona ed, in particolare, della storia degli Scaligeri. Illustra una serie di disegni di Verona raffiguranti l’architettura longobarda, gotica e rinascimentale e si sofferma sul rapporto tra la città ed i suoi fiumi, trattenendosi sui problemi inerenti l’irrigazione e le inondazioni.
Il contributo intende analizzare con particolare attenzione i contenuti di tale conferenza, ed evidenziare il livello di accuratezza con la quale Ruskin si documentava sui luoghi che visitava e sulle loro vicende storiche contribuendo a fornire elementi rilevanti della critica europea sull’età scaligera nella città veneta

Enviromental green and historic gardens: nature of the unbuilt in Naples
No full textThe contemporary city is often the result of fragmentary logics, casualness and compartmentalization: there is a lack of “urban space culture” and a public and private architectural culture prevails “against” a public space culture. This facet is also found in Naples, where on the contrary, the historic city was specifically characterized by public spaces and both private and public green areas: the city’s eco-sustainable development is an objective of a particular value if we recognize the “centrality” of green expressed by cultures that have preceded us. Today, therefore, is not exclusively a matter of assessing this lack of green spaces and, at large, of fixtures and public services, but also of finding the causes of such inadequate current reality and put forward a suitable regeneration plan of Naples’ historic centre aimed to the development of nature’s presence, distinguishing element of the historic and urban landscape
La chiesa dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo in Napoli: interventi di consolidamento nel XX secolo
No full textThe church, built in 1593 by the Art of Silk Guild, was completely renovated in 1759, under the direction of the architect Gennaro Papa, recovering surviving elements of the 16th-century structure. It has a single nave with four chapels on each side and a large apse. Damaged during the war and the 1980 earthquake, the monument has been object of restorations and consolidation in the 20th century. In particular, the instabilities on which they intervened were in the masonry of the last two chapels to the right of the nave and in the hypogeum: armed perforations, reinforced fixing of walls’ corners, injections of binding mixtures were carried out. These works make us think about the evolution of the approach in anti-seismic legislation and the disciplinary acquisitions on the restoration/consolidation relationship, particularly as regards to the concept of seismic "improvement"
Politiche di riqualificazione per il centro storico di Napoli
No full textFacing the economic and social crisis in Naples and its metropolitan area, those who study issues related to restoration and rehabilitation of historic urban fabric have to question the outcomes of decisions made in the aftermath of the earthquake of 1980, completing a survey of experiences that, from the comparison with the reality of today proves disappointing, if not bankruptcy. Initiatives emerge as piecemeal and ineffective, without a general framework, also addresses to international charters seem completely ignored, as the concept of integrated conservation
Piero Gazzola: scritti inediti di un manuale del restauro dei monumenti
No full textNel volume viene proposta una riflessione critica su di una serie di scritti inediti, da Gazzola intitolati Manuale del restauro architettonico, ritrovati e catalogati nell’Archivio a lui dedicato, in S. Ciriaco di Negrar. Per l’interesse scientifico e la significativa valenza culturale di tali scritti, mancanti della parte applicativa, si è deciso di pubblicarli.
Un capitolo introduttivo risulta utile a definire il coevo contesto storico-culturale nel quale si svolge l’attività di Gazzola, in ambito nazionale ed internazionale. Poi, dopo i dattiloscritti originali, segue il commento critico dell’Autrice, con riferimento puntuale ai vari capitoli del Manuale. Il linguaggio di Gazzola risulta colto, ma diretto e divulgativo, coerente con un messaggio rivolto alle giovani generazioni di architetti, a cui intende disvelare le sue appassionate convinzioni, frutto di tante esperienze e di tante battaglie culturali
Sostenibilità e governance per lo sviluppo di Napoli e del suo centro storico
No full textThe contribution, starting from the waste of resources flow into the center of Naples on the occasion of earthquake damage (order Zamberletti, law 219/81), analyzes the results of rules and actions (projects SIREN, PRG variant of 2004) to get to the debate Current Great Old Town UNESCO Programme and Management Plan. We will try to analyze these issues to bring out critical issues and outline prospects
TUTELA E URBANISTICA NEL SECONDO DOPOGUERRA A VERONA
No full textThe Verona Master Plan was entrusted to Plinio Marconi, who had also been commissioned to
draw up plans for the cities of Rimini and Bologna. Piero Gazzola, the Superintendent,
participated as a counterpart and questioned a number of aspects of that instrument. The work
done by Plinio Marconi has been singled out among the 'example cases' of Italian cities linked in
the postwar period by aspects of monumental interest
L’integrazione dei saperi umanistici e scientifici per una rigenerazione sostenibile del patrimonio
No full textRecovery, renovation, redevelopment, restoration of the built heritage and energy-related interventions are all operations that must go hand in hand, so as to pursue urban regeneration actions that provide for the historic built environment to cut energy costs, waste and use of non-recyclable materials without distorting stratified characters and values. Greener and sustainable historic cities are a possible and achievable goal, but getting there requires action through targeted measures
