Abstract
The first documentation of the village of Civitella dates back to the Angevin period, made by Charles I who decided the new defense of the Kingdom of Naples through the strengthening of some castles. Developed on the southern flank of the hill Campli, the village is defended by a walled fortress located on the rocky ridge. The ancient castle were largely destroyed in 1557 by the reconstruction of the Spanish fort observance of the new functional principles of military architecture. Since 1861, the year of his capitulation, the fortress lies dormant as a museum of itself in the open, sporadically visited by scholars and curious travelers who can enjoy a unique view and a few remains concerning some military buildings. This huge architectural good, which belongs to the community of all time, will not last forever if you continue to feel the ghost of famous events. Its functional revitalization, necessary and appropriate in the adequate allocation of the use of current needs, can help make living, shared the whole chorus of the medieval village, as well as a portion of the north eastern region. So, there is an idea of compatible enhancement that aims disclosure of its past through new fruition.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
