A revival project for the cultural heritage of Ginosa

The City of Ginosa, in Puglia, is characterized by an ancient urban fabric located in a ravine, like Matera and Gravina. A delicate place that gathers historical buildings and a complex hydrological system. On October 7 and December 2, 2014 the territory of Ginosa was involved in flooding of some significance that caused an immediate collapse of several buildings. Following an immediate inspection of the command of the Fire Department it was placed a ban on traffic in the area affected by the collapse and the displacement of residents. The incident created a great damage to the community of Ginosa for two reasons: Actually it made a ruin inaccessible part of the ancient fabric, with obvious consequences for residents; It has effectively cut short an important trend to invest by private sectors important to the economic recovery of the city both in terms of tourism that manufacturing. The 'Ginosa problem' can be solved only with a project that is able to attract the interest of capital from both community realities both from the world of private enterprise. Ginosa need for a conceptual project that tells a scenario long term towards which all actions must aim. Polytechnic of Bari believes in a strong idea: Ginosa should promote the creation of a unique place where they have to relocate many of the Apulian excellence in the field of fooding, manifacturing and building. A place to meet the most 'high' traditions of our kitchen, the 'old' knowledge of the manifacturing and building in Apulia.
