“Houses for One Euro” and the Territory. Some Estimation Issues for the “Geographic Debt” Reduction
2020
The phenomenon of the “houses for one Euro” is the epitome of the progressive and increasing abandonment of the inland territories in which many small towns are affected by continuous and unstoppable depopulation. This process, mostly affecting the southern and insular Italian regions, have been triggered by the quick industrial development started after the second post-war, led by the northern regions, that deeply and irreversibly modified the anthropography of the whole country until now. The impoverishment of a wide part of the Italian territory, is one of the many issues connected to the social-territorial justice that is the original topic by which appraisal and valuation, that is scie…
Violencia y sociedad en una villa medieval : Castellón de la plana en el siglo XV
2006
On the evidence of local court rolls, this paper studies the patters of violence in a valencian small town oriented to a great extent toward agrarian activities. It was especially a structural and daily violence, that usually it was not caused by habitual criminals but by common people and even by members of the ruling group. Abuse of force usually taked place from poweful to weak (from richs to poors, from masters to serviants, from husbands to wives, from christians to muslims), so that these forms of violence reaffirmed internal hierarchies that divided local community.
Abitare la transizione nei Centri minori in Sicilia
2023
The proposal aims to develop concrete experience on possible ways of living from a framework of national and international references on the theme of the Social Housing Community to define a specific methodology on strategies to be tested on the theme of residence temporary in small towns in Sicily. The provision of minimum and adequate space for short and long periods of welcome is thus intended for new temporary residents (returning young people, migrant families, the elderly, travellers in transit) which can also be used to meet the needs of migrants, under the public direction of the municipal administration. The issue of residency is back in the disciplinary debate after the health eme…

The small towns can become the places to reactivate the rural areas of our country through essential factors starting from the natural and cultural heritage, from social inclusion, from psycho-physical well-being, helping to reverse the unstoppable phenomenon of the flight of young people.

Strategies for the valorization of the small towns in the inland areas of Sicily
2019
La crisi degli insediamenti minori (specie nelle aree interne che presentano maggiore fragilità) impone che si debba ragionare su aree vaste per poter elaborare nuove visioni e costruire una nuova cittadinanza. La possibilità di operare sul territorio esteso diventa premessa di metodo e di operabilità del progetto, riconoscendo che i territori frammentati, le risorse puntuali (anche di grande valore storico e culturale) non sono più in grado di generare processi. The crisis of small settlements (especially in inland areas that are very fragile) requires a large-scale reasoning to be able to develop new visions and build a new citizenship. The possibility of operating on a wide territory bec…

Small towns between Globalization and Sustainability
2011
I piccoli centri urbani rappresentano una frazione significativa della popolazione totale in molte regioni del mondo. Molti di questi centri hanno subito modifiche in seno alla loro economia e tipologia a causa della globalizzazione e dei cambiamenti economici del mondo avvenuti già nella metà del ventesimo secolo. L’economia locale indipendente delle piccole città, che è stata assorbita dall’economia globale, ha determinato la perdita delle identità locali e la loro stessa qualità di vita. In tale ragione risiede l’importanza di una progettazione urbana sostenibile - intesa come l’interazione tra economia, ambiente e benessere sociale – finalizzata a conservare i valori locali delle piccol…
Strategie per la valorizzazione delle città-paese nelle aree interne della Sicilia
2019
La crisi degli insediamenti minori (specie nelle aree interne che presentano maggiore fragilità) impone che si debba ragionare su aree vaste per poter elaborare nuove visioni e costruire una nuova cittadinanza. La possibilità di operare sul territorio esteso diventa premessa di metodo e di operabilità del progetto, riconoscendo che i territori frammentati, le risorse puntuali (anche di grande valore storico e culturale) non sono più in grado di generare processi. Solo l’ipotesi di una riqualificazione spaziale a grande scala, la determinazione di una rete o filiera con nodi reali (che sono luoghi e spazi che riconducono poi a operare sui micro-paesaggi) può prefigurare una nuova spazialità …
The Trasversale Sicula. Themes and action research projects in sensitive Mediterranean areas
2022
There are many sensitive territories located in disadvantaged areas of the Mediterranean where depopulation has been a significant consequence of their economic and demographic decline. This has led to the gradual flight of young people and the disappearance of certain essential services. The conservation of resources is a topic of growing interest in Europe. It is necessary to rethink a new vision concerning the territory of small towns. Within this framework, this action research project aims to define a new collective sensibility, full of resources and history, throughout the territory of the Trasversale Sicula. The narrative of a new imaginary of the Sicilian hinterland is the foundatio…
