The study, through the presentation of the researches and studies made the last years in support of the municipality of Arquata del Tronto, means to give a contribution to outline a method of facing the rebuilding of the Central Italy's historical towns and villages damaged by 2016 seismic events. Villages are among the places in which, more than everywhere, the local and social identity characters of community are assembled. This is noticed immediately after a catastrophic event when people involved ask themselves how to take their identity back and, at the same time, how to secure their future in safe houses, safe public building and safe common areas. These two concepts: place's local identity restoration or conservation and guarantee of safety in case of catastrophic events, must necessarily lead the rebuilding process of the villages stroked by earthquakes. The identity characteristics of places landscape, settlements, urban fabric, buildings, and building techniques are basic data to consider in defining a post-catastrophic action that wants link structural improvement with identity preservation. These identity marks should be inflected according to the different types of actions to face: restauration and prevention, rebuilding, reconstitution of urban memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
