Conservazione e recupero dei centri storici minori: il caso di Atina nel Lazio Meridionale

Many historical centers in southern Lazio can be considered heritage to be safeguarded for their landscape, urban, and architectural characteristics. The study of these territorial areas is particularly complex and requires an approach focused on reuse, enhancement, and preservation of their material components. The multiple factors that have influenced their evolution have given rise to a variety of architectures differentiated by typology, structure, and technology. To preserve and enhance these centers, it is necessary to adopt methodological conservation guidelines based on a detailed understanding of their construction and material characteristics. This process should aim to maintain the authenticity of local constructions while embracing the technological innovations of current housing models. This balance between conservation and innovation requires a comprehensive vision of the built context and its surrounding environment. Strategies for the conservation of minor historical centers outline that is important to focus on specific case studies as paradigmatic examples. In this context, attention is on the historic urban center of the municipality of Atina, which stands out as a peculiar case deserving special attention, analyzing some of its architectural surfaces through a reinterpretation of the Color Plan.
