The Art of Building (Archaeological) Landscapes. Luigi Moretti's projects for the Appia Antica Park

The small essay discusses some of the numerous projects that the Roman architect Luigi Moretti, having been the trusted professional of the aristocratic families who owned the land, had developed for areas located within today's Appia Antica Park. As it is known, that of the Appia is among the most important territories in Rome for archaeological presences, a place that gave Moretti the opportunity to reflect at length on the relationship between ruins, architecture and landscape and to test, in a broad and open context, his theories on space and perception.
