Conoscere il territorio per un consumo consapevole. Akragas e i suoi valori identitari
2014
Parlare di consumo di suolo, oggi, significa trattare un tema attuale, complesso e articolato. La complessità del tema è individuabile sia nell’indeterminatezza del concetto stesso di consumo di suolo, sia nella sua storia che si collega a quella, più datata, dell’uso del suolo. Se volessimo dare una definizione precisa e univoca di consumo di suolo, ci imbatteremmo già in un primo problema. Varie sono quelle che il dibattito recente ha cercato di coniare. Al fine di provare da un lato a mettere ordine alla materia, dall’altro a dettare princìpi e regole chiari in Italia, recentemente, si è discusso un interessante disegno di legge, in attesa di essere definitivamente approvato in Parlament…
La città contemporanea e il territorio agricolo. Una relazione in continuo divenire
2014
Does the balanced relationship between the city and the country, typical of the birth of the urban centers and still existing in the eighteenth century, hold on until today? Can the relationship between the two parts be still considered an equal relationship? And again, can the “limits” of the contemporary city, with their residue of agricultural land be considered key points for the renaissance of a contemporary ecologically-oriented city? These are some questions underlying the research of which this paper presents the results. In order to answer these questions, this research has reflected on the transformation, over the centuries, of the relationship between town and country, on the mai…
Normativa urbanistica e contratto preliminare
2015
The following article addresses the critical and controversial question concerning the invalidity of the transfer of immovable property not complying with urban planning regulation and the implication of this invalidity in the specific context of the preliminary contract. The paper comments an innovative and recent ruling of the Italian Supreme Court that proposes a crucial change in comparison with the previous decisions made in this matter. The most relevant aspect of the new Supreme Court's guideline, which makes this judgment a leading case, concerns the extension to preliminary contracts of nullity deriving from the conflict with urban planning regulations. This is an important revirem…
Cities and Skills for Integration: What Can Urban Planning do? Experiences and Reflections Between Public Spaces and Collective Interest for Urban an…
2018
Immigration and integration of foreign communities is a condition that strongly affects the form and the meaning of public space. In contexts that are new to the phenomenon, there may be an occasion to revise the protocols and models for the development of new spatial relationships, based on the presence of communities that are no longer homogeneous. The theme of urban regeneration due to the presence of migrant communities has been addressed in various ways and from different points of view, often focusing on the creation of urban spaces capable of improving livability, rarely with the creation of integration processes or the construction of new urban identities. However, a resilient point…
Temple and the merchants
2019
Con i suoi tre milioni di abitanti e un hinterland di quattro milioni, Casablanca potrebbe sembrare a prima vista una metropoli cosmopolita e internazionale. Vivendola dal di dentro, invece, Casa (come familiarmente viene chiamata dagli abitanti) si rivela una città profondamente legata alle sue origini berbere in un paradosso di urbanistica nomade. Abitata da “uomini liberi” (dal significato etimologico del termine “berbero”), la popolazione continua a mantenere usi e costumi propri delle tradizioni nomadi nordafricane. Nella Medina più antica, cinta dalle poderose mura in terra cruda rossa, i bianchi edifici che valsero il nome alla città formano un dedalo di strade e di vicoli ciechi bru…
Cous cous teaches that love never stops!
2022
La tradizione culinaria del cous cous, originaria dei paesi del Nord Africa e del Maghreb, sbarcata in Sicilia a seguito della dominazione araba e diffusasi grazie alle attività commerciali intraprese dai pescatori siciliani, ha conquistato la cucina regionale che ne ha inaugurato una variante originale: il cous cous di pesce. L’innesto tra culture gastronomiche differenti è stato lo spunto per l’avvio di una nuova tradizione culturale, il San Vito Cous Cous Fest, un evento gastronomico/culturale all’insegna dell’integrazione tra i popoli, della convivenza pacifica, dell’arricchimento reciproco e del cibo come nutrimento dell’anima. The culinary tradition of cous cous, original from the cou…
From Conservation to Revitalization. Ambiguous and Critical Conditions in the Heritage Conservation Experiences of Erice
2022
The plans and the evolutionary trends of policies and practices implemented in Erice old town, in the south of Italy, in the western part of Sicily, can be considered a case study of total conservation as highly representative of Italian urban planning of the last 60 years. This paper aims to deal with the actual problems and the perspective of sustainable development of the historical centre of Erice, by adopting the approach of urban and territorial regeneration. This paper also highlights the historical and cultural context in which the Gubbio Charter (issued in 1960) is affirmed; i.e. the most appropriate approaches to historical urban centres; what we can learn from Erice’s integral co…
Enhancing the Endogenous Potential of Agricultural Landscapes: Strategies and Projects for a Inland Rural Region of Sicily
2018
This paper focuses on the potential of the rural landscape of Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, taking into particular account the critical need to deal with the problem of depopulation of the small inner areas by leveraging the “integrated exploitation” of local resources. The rural landscape is considered to be capable of playing an essential role in many fields: ecology, production, culture and tourism. In this regard, guidelines are set by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, the EU guidelines and the experience from Italy’s Rural Development Plans, the latter of which aim at achieving the much sought-after multi-functionality of agriculture. This …
Antigone, today
2020
The tragedy of Antigone revolves around the theme of conflict. Both the version written by Sophocles and the one by Jean Anouilh are mainly focused on conflicts. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is real and symbolic at the same time. It is the conflict between a woman’s body and the law, between women’s and men’s conditions, between two anthropologies. It is also a conflict between two opposite ethical perspectives, and two opposite political visions. It is the conflict between the rule of individuals and the rule of laws, between non-violence and violence, social responsibility and individual egoism, and self-identification and identity. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is th…
