Il giardino della Villa Floridiana in Napoli. Memoria, conservazione e valorizzazione
No full textThe subject of historic gardens is once again at the centre of international interest, following the profound environmental and social changes of recent decades. The renewed interest in them highlights the lack of specialist skills and the inadequacy of regulations, so it seems appropriate to tackle an innovative research path, capable of reading them as a synthesis of different disciplines and not as their juxtaposition. This line of investigation includes the study conducted as part of the Diploma of Specialisation thesis in Architectural and Landscape Heritage on the Villa Floridiana complex in Naples, a former Bourbon residence and today the Duca di Martina National Ceramics Museum.
The methodological path followed started from the cognitive phase with the reconnaissance of the copious bibliographic, cartographic, iconographic and archival documentation, making it possible to outline the historical events that affected the site and the urban context of reference. Since the study of greenery is an essential objective of this work, an accurate census of trees and shrubs was carried out, with the recognition and classification of exceptional botanical species, as well as a mapping of the planting layers.
The analyses also focused on the subsoil with its cavities and hydraulic system, peculiar to the Neapolitan area, as well as the mapping of the site's uses and management methods, aimed at identifying the best strategies for the valorisation of the La Floridiana complex.
The exits of the present research that, despite its great historical, artistic and botanical value, the complex, due to major maintenance deficiencies, has suffered a progressive decline, to the point of often being closed to the public, pending safety and restoration work
Realtà sotterranee nel quartiere Castello in Cagliari. Rilievi stratigrafici nell’ex complesso gesuitico di Santa Croce = Underground realities in the Castello quarter in Cagliari. Stratigraphic surveys in the former Jesuit complex of Santa Croce
No full textIl contributo illustra gli esiti di uno studio condotto sugli ambienti sotterranei del complesso gesuitico di Santa Croce, situato nel quartiere di Castello in Cagliari. Si tratta di un articolato insieme architettonico, edificato alla fine del XVI secolo su un’area precedentemente occupata dalla sinagoga della città e dalle abitazioni della comunità ebraica. Le indagini hanno preso avvio dal riordino delle frammentarie fonti bibliografiche e archivistiche, al fine di ricostruire lo stato dell’arte, le vicende costruttive e la storia dei restauri del manufatto indagato. Il percorso conoscitivo è poi proseguito con il rilievo metrico eseguito con il supporto di tecnologia laser scanner 3D, grazie alla quale è stato possibile ricavare accurate restituzioni ed effettuare approfondimenti tematici illustranti aspetti architettonici, dimensionali, materici e tecnico-costruttivi, studiando nel dettaglio il sistema di archi e volte, nonché le apparecchiature murarie. La sistematizzazione dei dati raccolti è stata di grande supporto per l’analisi stratigrafica degli elevati e per la datazione relativa delle strutture. Le fasi costruttive individuate si succedono con continuità per almeno quattro secoli, con l’apporto di modifiche anche consistenti, alcune delle quali riferibili all’epoca medievale.
L’analisi di tali ambienti offre un significativo contributo agli studi condotti sul sottosuolo del quartiere di Castello, che, seppure finora esigui, fanno emergere in modo evidente un interessante panorama ipogeico composto da cavità, pozzi, cisterne, cunicoli e gallerie, di cui il caso in esame fa parte. Specifici approfondimenti sulle singole realtà – come quello qui proposto – sono indispensabili per una comprensione dell’intero sistema ipogeico urbano, al fine di costruire un quadro organico della conoscenza per tracciare futuri scenari di conservazione, valorizzazione e riuso
Metodologie e strumenti per la conservazione e il riuso del patrimonio militare: la base aerea di Cagliari-Elmas | Methodologies and tools for the protection and the reuse of military sites: the Air Force Base of Cagliari-Elmas
No full textOn 28 March 1923, the Italian air force was founded as an independent service with the name of 'Arma Azzurra' (Blue Army). Fascism always held it in the maximum importance, as an Italian excellence among the national armies. In 1934, an important exhibition on Italian Aviation was held in Milan to celebrate the exceptional innovation reached in this field. In the same exhibition, some models of the modern airport were showed. The first Italian airport built according to Milan's models was the seaplane base of Cagliari, quickly transformed into a modern aviation base, completed in 1935. The historical
buildings, still preserved, show a clear futurist character together with rationalistic elements, avantgarde for the contemporary European context. The military area has very recently been decommissioned, turned into civilian use and outsourced to the company responsible for civil airport management (So.G.Aer. SpA). The University of Cagliari, together
with the local offices of the National Ministry for Cultural Heritage, is carrying out a scientific research on the ex-military area, with the specific aim of inserting the entire site in the list of protected monuments, since it represents an important witness of the Italian military history of the 20th century. The research follows the rigorous protocol of investigation generally used for historical monuments and includes the indirect analysis, through the recognition of bibliographic, archival and graphic sources, and the direct survey of the structures, carried out through photographic, architectural and material
surveys, with non-destructive diagnostic techniques. Based on the in-depth knowledge, the research drafts a first proposal for a sustainable reuse
