Retracing Sangritana Railway starting from Filippo Sargiacomo's Drawing

The goal of the study is the representation of some values of the Abruzzo landscape through the integrated use of Drawing and Photography. The study dials with some of the architectural and environmental sites crossed by the ancient route of the Sangritana Railway now partly disused. The railway system ran through an important piece of land overlooking the Adriatic coast. It reveals remarkable items of interest and, for its particular planimetric configuration, offers a unique view into fruition of the 'qualities' of a Mediterranean landscape. A reflection on unusual aspects of an Adriatic territorial district in order to detect the uniqueness, emphasizing dissonances, juxtaposing chromatic notes. Sort of visions, not exhaustive, of a notebook of a passing traveler. Starting from the reading of the original archive drawings we tried to retrace valences and evolution of a design concept that has conditioned the evolution of these territories, recomposing a story in pictures, sort of a story-telling, documenting major aspects connoting this rare landscape.
