Il patrimonio immobiliare abbandonato di Alianello in Basilicata. Analisi e proposte per il riuso.

The research, which is still in the experimental and expansion phase, involves various disciplines concerned with the study, knowledge, and monitoring of heritage from the landscape, geological, urban, structural, and architectural points of view, intending to propose design hypotheses and visions for a new use and regeneration of heritage rendered fragile by disruption. The case study examined is the historical center of Alianello, a small municipality in the Lucania region in the province of Matera, consisting of a medieval village that is now completely abandoned and whose buildings are in a state of physical and structural decay that could be easily resolved if recognized and consolidated with awareness and critical knowledge through documentation integrated by technical knowledge. The study was articulated by subdividing the urban fabric into 47 building aggregates, the overall damage conditions of which were analyzed, caused by various geomorphologic and seismic disruptions that led to the abandonment of the built-up area, but did not make the structures completely uninhabitable, for which new forms of reuse were hypothesized to enhance and re-inhabit the village. The research, starting from the example of aggregate no. 25, which is particularly significant for its type of construction, highlights the possibility of reuse not for residential purposes but for tourism and recreation with compatible interventions that respect the authoritative laws of nature, based on stable equilibrium in conditions of minimum energy. The proposed redevelopment could bring economic benefits to the few inhabitants, as well as new investment in the landscape redevelopment of the entire area.
