No full textI paesaggi vitivinicoli delle Langhe-Roero e Monferrato sono paesaggi culturali che si contraddistinguono per la forte impronta lasciata dall’uomo, che nei secoli li ha modellati in funzione della coltivazione della vite. Inseriti nella World Heritage List del
2014, si presentano come un paesaggio scandito da ampie distese collinari di vigneti a gira poggio e da nuclei insediativi di epoca romana e medievale. Consapevole dell’importanza del prodotto vitivinicolo, la regione Piemonte ha sviluppato e consolidato nel tempo una forte politica di qualificazione e tutela delle produzioni attraverso lo strumento delle DOCG e del riconoscimento del paesaggio come universalmente unico. La coltivazione della vite e la produzione del vino rappresentano tutt’ora il principale fattore su cui ruota la vita sociale, culturale ed economica del territorio e su cui si è trasformato progressivamente il paesaggio, al punto da condurlo a contare oltre il 90% dei vigneti della regione e a sviluppare una tendenza alla monocultura, come nel caso delle Langhe.
The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are cultural landscapes that stand out for the strong imprint left by man, who over the centuries has shaped them by the cultivation of the vine. Included in the World Heritage List of 2014, they present a landscape characterised by wide slopes of vineyards and Roman and medieval settlements. Aware of the importance of wine production, the Piedmont Region has developed and consolidated over time a strong policy of qualification and protection of production through the instrument of DOCGs and recognition of the landscape as universally unique. The cultivation of vines and the production of wine are the principal elements on which social, cultural and economic activities revolve and on which the landscape has been transformed: they are branded by more than 90% of the region’s vineyards and a tendency towards monoculture, as in the case of the Langhe, can be counted on
Il recupero e riuso nell’architettura del cammino: uno sguardo al futuro dei casòt piemontesi e dei cabotes borgognesi, Recovery and reuse in the walkway architecture: looking to the future for dismissed rural buildings in Italy and France
Full text linkThe old buildings that are vacant, many of them with cultural, social and historical values, are part of the identity of a region and are an opportunity to revitalize it, through its reuse. It is urgent to use environmental and cultural sustainability criteria in this process, in counter-cycle with the increase in construction waste production, that between 2015-2018 reached values of 48% (dangerous) and 38.7% (non-hazardous), resulting from the current practice of demolitions.
Earthen architecture is one of these heritage legacies at risk, disseminated in the Central region of Portugal, and the present study inventoried representative buildings - the Patio Houses Gandaresas (1164 buildings) and the Brazilian type Houses (462 buildings) - in 10 municipalities . Based on this survey, the most significant typologies and their constructive system characterization were studied, serving as a basis for the structuring of a methodology for minimum conservation intervention, for which the current anomalies were previously identified: deformation of facades, lack of cohesion of the structural system (walls/floors/roofing), incorrect functioning of the rainwater drainage system and ventilation at the base of the walls, the action of salts on the coatings, among others.
The exhaustive knowledge of materials, construction systems, risks of degradation due to use or environmental conditions impacts, as well as interventions from the past to be reversed, support the options of real case studies of minimum intervention, of which two examples are presented: the Cestinhos House at Ílhavo and Gandaresa House at Seixo in Mira
Teaching yards in Piedmont, The transmission and learning of the traditional building knowledge through the recovery of the rural stone heritage of the cultural landscape of The Langhe
No full textThe recovery of the ciabot Lumassin is the result of work carried out in 2018 within the Banca del Fare project. The ciabot is a rural Piedmont building built without workers and stemming from the farmer’s need to be supported while working in the fields. It is a material heritage that manifests the close relationship whit the intangible component: the oral transmission of the buildings culture of the Langhe territory and its traditional savoir faire. The building was recovered through didactic workshops whit the help of local craftsmen and building testimonies were transcribed in order to hand them down to future generation s. The final objective of the project is to reintroduce the ciabot within a broader project: the ciabot d’Alta langa, the first hotel in the way

TRA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO E GEOTURISMO: APPROCCI SOSTENIBILI PER LA RIGENERAZIONE DEI GEOPARKS UNESCO
No full textThe research stems from the desire to understand the importance of natural and cultural heritage within the processes of enhancing and regenerating a territory, highlighting how sustainable tourism can serve as a catalyst for designing, planning, and defining intervention strategies aimed at local development. Within UNESCO heritage sites, these territorial policies are highly focused on, particularly in Geoparks. Arising from grassroots management needs, the heritage of Geoparks is not strictly associated with geological heritage but is valued according to its relationships with natural, cultural, and intangible heritage. To identify the most virtuous and effective management strategies related to tourism, an initial analysis was conducted on European UNESCO Geoparks. Five
Geoparks were selected, followed by a comparative assessment with quantitative evaluations of the results obtained. The same approach was applied to understand the dynamics of Geoparks in Italy, specifically analyzing the Madonie Geopark in Sicily and the Sesia Val Grande Park in Piedmont. In comparing them with European countries, the latent potential of Italy’s rural built heritage emerged. The discovery of residual quality elements could lead to the implementation of the action plan through the recovery of these architectures for tourism purposes
A Preliminary Study for the Knowledge Process: Pier Luigi Nervi’s Taormina Stadium
Full text linkThe article highlights the fragilities of a specific category of 20th-century heritage, namely football stadiums. These architectures are even more vulnerable as they are subject to continuous regulatory and performance adjustments that clash with the building’s cultural, historical and technical values. Therefore, there is a need to raise awareness of the protection of these architectural works so that interventions can be carried out that combine technical innovation and heritage conservation.
The paper provides a synthesis of the research conducted on football stadiums designed and built by Pier Luigi Nervi, in collaboration with his son Antonio, in Italy’s second half of the 20th century. The analysis was carried out on various levels to grasp their specificities, understand their current state, and make the necessary comparisons to identify a case study for further evaluation. The Taormina stadium is a unicum concerning the others considered, both for its compositional and structural components and for additional vulnerabilities that denote it and, at the same time, constitute an exceptional example. Archive research and field investigations outline this architecture’s original characteristics and current state of conservation. This process of anamnesis shows how awareness-raising assumes a fundamental role in assisting the different competencies involved in preserving these assets
How Many Fragilities for How Many Architectures: The Taormina Stadium of P.L. Nervi
No full textThis study addresses a relevant topic for Italy: protecting 20th-century football stadiums. Italian art. 55bis of D.L. 76/2020, the “sblocca-stadi” amendment, allows sports facilities to be exempt from cultural asset protection protocols. Dealing with this type of heritage is complicated. Sports stadiums are especially vulnerable to Modern architecture’s fragility. Their fragility makes integrating them into cultural heritage difficult because their constant need for regulatory and performance changes conflicts with the building’s history. Functional adaptation and conservation require communicating these architectural structures’ cultural, technical, and scientific significance. This is essential to create interventions that balance architectural innovation and heritage preservation.
The analysis focuses on three football stadiums in Italy that were designed and constructed by Pier Luigi Nervi during the 1950s and 1960s. These architectures embody the essence of Italian architectural culture and are distinguished by the unique “Nervi style”. However, each structure also possesses distinct characteristics influenced by the context in which it was constructed. The study centres on the Taormina stadium, by conducting research in the archives and carrying out field investigations, we have identified the distinctive features of this architecture and assessed its current state of conservation. This has revealed additional vulnerabilities that are specific to the case study. Intervening in the conservation project requires a thorough understanding of the asset and the reconstruction of its history, which serves as a valuable tool. The scientific community in this sector plays a crucial role by possessing a wide range of skills that can collectively contribute to safeguarding these heritages
Fragilità dell’utenza e del patrimonio costruito. L’architettura del cammino come occasione per una riqualificazione condivisa
No full textThe contribution investigates the relationship of fragility between users and cultural heritage. It considers the rural heritage as a cultural asset, as a matrix of-local identity and cultural expression of the community, and defines strategies through the networking of the heritage for receptive purposes. The recovery should include the re-functionalization of the heritage and its link with other vernacular polarities, according to the needs of users. To be “for all”, the design must bemed on meticulous attention to detail and must be invisible and integrated into the environment. The enhancement of-inclusive aspects represents an incremental value of-quality by satisfying users’ expectations. the case study described is part of the “Banca del Fare” project and provides for the recovery and re-functionalization of the “Ciabot d’Alta Langa” from the point of view of environmental, economic and social sustainability. A reinterpretation of the project from an inclusive point of view allowed ideas, suggestions and considerations about the possible ways of-implementation of-accessibility, outlining solutions and good practices for widespread hospitality
Sull’emblematicità delle cose comuni. Il valore del patrimonio minore nei paesaggi culturali
No full textIl presente contributo si interroga sul valore dei segni antropici più comuni nel territorio, tracce fragili che non sono considerate opere significative di per sé. Può un casale rurale, una strada un sentiero o un filare arboreo diventare riferimento meritevole di conservazione e tutela? I valori veicolati dal patrimonio delle cose comuni diventano espliciti nel momento in cui si sposta l’attenzione dai singoli elementi alla loro messa in rete, ovvero dal riconoscimento della parte nel tutto, come avviene nel paesaggio culturale. Si tratta di un sistema complesso fatto di oggetti (segni), ma anche e soprattutto di relazioni e connessioni. Se consideriamo dunque il sistema come opera emblematica, ovvero quell’opera che testimonia il continuum della storia, il paesaggio culturale può essere interpretato come emblema dei valori della tradizione culturale e sociale che l’ha pro- dotto. Il carattere di emblematicità deriva non tanto dal valore che ciascun elemento (segno) ha in sé, ma dal sistema di segni impressi sul territorio, intesi come stratificazioni avvenute nel tempo. Approcciarsi al paesaggio implica saper decodificare questo complesso sistema. Come nel linguaggio, i segni non hanno solo un senso proprio ma acquistano nuovi e più articolati significati nelle relazioni che instaurano reciprocamente e con il territorio. La complessità di tale decodifica investe anche le questioni legate ai concetti di conservazione e tutela, e quello complementare di valorizzazione. Tali azioni si rivolgono non tanto – o non solo – al singolo elemento, quanto soprattutto alle relazioni che, veicolando il senso, consentono il funzionamento del sistema e quindi la trasmissione di significati e valori all’attualità. Si rende necessario stabilire dunque una relazione significativa con il tempo passato e presente per garantire la trasmissione di significati e valori all’attualità, coscienti del duplice ruolo di memoria storica e risorsa per la società
