Regeneration of historie hamlets between material and immaterial actions

Abstract

The current environmental, health and socio-economic emergencies have increased the debate on the links between metropolises and inland areas, recognising a new attractiveness in small historie villages. Places that have long been subject to depopulation and marginalization, today see the opportunity to be reborn through regeneration processes. Is a complex process that requires an alliance between cities, smaller settlements and the territory, with medium- and long-term visions. This article examines three distinct cases of regeneration of historie villages in ltaly (Piedmont, Liguria and Umbría). Colletta di Castelbianco, Ostana and Postignano are examples where architecture has played a key role in enhancing the cultural and landscape heritage. Projects in different contexts that highlight common elements and provide food far thought far future interventions in other villages. The search far quality and the right measure in architecture, the balance between tradition and innovation, respect far the relationship with the landscape are fundamental. However, material actions must be accompanied by immaterial actions through integrated projects to actívate virtuous processes in the environmental, social and economic dimensions, contributing to the development of territories and communities.
