Il Belice prima e dopo il 1968 attraverso le iconografie

The 1968 earthquake in western Sicily is a break point in the history of a territory rich and layered. The journalism has mainly dealt with the case Gibellina, but in reality is the entire geographical area to have changed relationships and vocations. The iconography and photographs can witness the difference that occurred within a few years. In fact, the contemporary architecture linked to the reconstruction is only one of the parameters suitable to interpret mutations identity of places, see the cases of Poggioreale and Salemi. The project will make use of visual materials and graphics traced in local archives and the constant comparison between the performances before and after the earthquake. This work also serves to balance the overall perception of an area that the collective is composed of only the architecture of the late twentieth century. The earthquake has accelerated some trends already in place, in some cases radically altered conformations urban, yet the folds of these reconstructions history continues to resurface.

Il saggio presenta come l' intero territorio della valle del Belice abbia cambiato identità dopo il terremoto del 1968. Attraverso le iconografie (fotografie, disegni) di architetture esistite e poi distrutte.
