Questa ricerca mira, sugli evidenti “valori” culturali, storici e architettonici del patrimonio militare ancora presenti nell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena, ad approfondire la conoscenza di queste strutture ea proporre idee e linee guida sulla loro conservazione e valorizzazione. Tra la fine del Settecento e la Prima Guerra Mondiale la difesa del territorio di La Maddalena si esprime soprattutto attraverso misure di protezione dei confini dalle invasioni straniere, prima del Regno di Sardegna e poi dell’Italia. I primi tentativi di aggressione risalgono alla fine del 1792, quando la Francia rivoluzionaria attaccò il Regno di Sardegna. All’inizio del XIX secolo l’arcipelago era dotato di altre strutture: oltre ai forti Balbiano e Santo Stefano, costruiti tra il 1790 e il 1792, sono stati costruiti i forti Carlo Felice e San Giorgio, sull’isola di Santo Stefano. Alla fine del diciannovesimo secolo, l’arcipelago di La Maddalena veniva fortificato. Alla fine della Prima Guerra Mondiale, cambiando le aree strategicamente importanti, lo Stato maggiore dell’esercito, con la Royal Navy, identifica nuove quindici aree industriali e demografiche che necessitano di protezione dal mare. Oggi, tale patrimonio culturale di grande importanza strategica e paesaggistica, vive in condizioni estreme ed è soggetto a spoliazioni e demolizioni; una situazione che richiede un’azione urgente, supportata da una fase preliminare di conoscenza e dallo sviluppo di specifici sistemi per la protezione e la valorizzazione.

Abstract
This research aims, on the evident cultural, historical and architectural ‘values’ of the military heritage still present in the Archipelago of La Maddalena, to deepen knowledge of these structures and to propose ideas and guidelines on their conservation and enhancement. Between the late eighteenth century and the Second World War the defense of the territory of La Maddalena is expressed especially through measures to protect the borders from foreign invasions, before of the Kingdom of Sardinia and then of Italy. The first attempts of aggression were in the end of 1792, when revolutionary France attacks the Kingdom of Sardinia. In the early nineteenth century the Archipelago was equipped with other structures: in addition to the forts Balbiano and St. Stephen, built between 1790 to 1792, are built the forts Carlo Felice and St. George, on the island of Saint Stephen. In the late nineteenth century, the Archipelago of La Maddalena had been fortified. At the end of the First World War, changing the strategically prominent areas, the General Staff of the Army, with the Royal Navy, identifies new fifteen industrial and demographic areas that need protection from the sea. Today, a cultural asset of great strategic importance and landscape, live in the extremely conditions and are subject to spoliation and demolition; a situation that demands urgent action, supported by a preliminary step of knowledge as well as by the development of specific system works for the protection and enhancement.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
