Il territorio costiero laziale tra Toscana, dal Monte Argentario, fino alla Campania, a Terracina, è caratterizzato, lungo 361 km, da una compagine compatta di strutture turrite che nei secoli hanno rappresentato una solida difesa, per il territorio dell’ex Stato Pontificio, dalle incursioni e dagli attacchi provenienti dal mare. Si tratta di sistemi architettonici, sguarniti a partire dalla metà del XIX secolo, ancora possenti e di grande fascino che nell’attualità rappresentano un patrimonio di elevato interesse storico, culturale, architettonico nonché paesaggistico; la conoscenza di tali manufatti, e del contesto naturalistico in cui si trovano, è alla base del presente contributo, comprensivo di alcune proposte per la conservazione e la valorizzazione di queste uniche e peculiari costruzioni, attualmente allo stato di rudere e di abbandono.

Abstract
The aim of the current contribution, through the study of archival and iconographic sources, is to deepen typological characters and construction techniques, as well as the recovery and enhancement actions of some towers located in the Lazio coast, today mostly abandoned and disused. The study analyzes deepens the diversified anthropization processes of the Lazio coastal landscape, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, between Civitavecchia, to the North, and Terracina, to the South, focusing attention on the defensive towers on the coast. It is a rich and unique heritage, still mostly intact, within a territory widely modified by spontaneous urbanization of the past century which has caused the uncontrolled expansion of illegal settlements and the construction of important infrastructures, such as the international Fiumicino airport. A complex overview that should be protected by involving cultural and environmental assets, now closely related to each other to determine the characteristics and quality of the current landscape.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
