and that,
going from the Mezquita
de Cordoba to the Tiberius’s Villa Iovis in Capri, from the
Adalberto
Libera’s Villa
Malaparte always in Capri until the Francesco
Venezia’s Museum
of Gibellina, from the Le
Corbusier’s Chapel of Ronchamp to the Abbazia
Florens of Gioacchino
da Fiore and Luca
Campano through the undergrounds of Naples, the underground
architecture of the Greek Roman caverns exposed to the Triennale
of Milan, the ages, the cultural migrations, the Urbanism
and Etno-Psychiatry, sometimes the losses, sometimes the contaminations,
through various values and the religions, the aesthetic valences,
with the contribution of personal written and of others Authors,
of photography’s, designs
and other types of iconographic representations, 3d
rendering, cad,
videos, wants indicate a reflection course on this argument.
--The
site and the section are in continuous development and in continuous
research; from this moment above all with regard to the Mediterranean
Architecture and to the cultural migrations that have influenced
on its transformation in the time and in the geography.

Urbanism
and Etno-Psychiatry
--[...]
At
the beginning of the last century a migratory current
of the Florensis started towards the foreign countries which
became like a river in flood since the half of the Sixties.
The thousand of billions of Lire’s
of the wages of the beyond eight thousand Florensis are transformed
in reinforced concrete in a little more than ten years.
--A
collective madness braked out: Dr. Salvatore
INGLESE, Ethno-Psychiatrist, in that time Director for many
years of the local seat of the Mental Health Centre,
wrote an essay where he analyzed this type of social psychopathology:
--[...]
the relative richness deriving from the wage-job gained
by the emigrants was obstinate to be petrified in deserted and
abusive dwellings that caused a serious imbalance in the rational
management of the territory. The emigration hasn’t determined
"in loco” a new development, the web of the productive
structures or trading remained atrophic or however slowed down.
But the concreteness of the wages revealed also the necessity
to contrast, turning upside down in its contrary the anguish
of the consequent vanishing by the forced exodus. In this territory,
more the emigration is suffered like uprooting or constrained
nomadism, more new domestic foundations are demarcated. The
more one is forced to the movement, the more one digs in the
cliff and a permanent skeletal identity rises.
[...]
--In
the Florense population don’t exist any resignation
to the exodus, to the MASS EMIGRATION,
nor acceptance of the strategy of operated survival. The
exile from the catharsis of the reality is revealed like suspension
of the drama in the vacuum of empty buildings.
--[...]
Probably as rebellion
to the concreteness, the greyness, the uselessness
of the contemporary San Giovanni in Fiore re-appear the memories:
the most colourful shutters, or frames and transoms of the “Timpune”,
some rare, sensitive person, still colours the contours of its
door differently from that of the neighbour; inevitably the green
of the pines of the Sila, the blue of its nocturnal sky, the
red of the blood of Christ and of all the men of the earth.
