Rigenerare gli spazi del quotidiano. Strategie per reintegrare i mercati dismessi nel tessuto urbano

Covered markets, structures or factories used for commercial purposes, can also be understood as "urban boxes", containers of various activities beyond the economic one, spaces of social and cultural life. If in the Twentieth century the covered markets were the expression of the design trace of the architect, which often had to fit into a broader plan, today instead they represent both “full spaces”, for the physical space they occupy in the urban context, and social voids, for the lack of adequate administration and compatible restoration interventions, coherent with the architecture of the building and its context. The contribution intends to highlight the strategic role of covered markets in a work of urban regeneration, understood as emblematic spaces of the history and identity of the community.
