Le fortificazioni urbane del sud Italia viceregnale: per una metodologia della ricerca

[EN] The research presented is part of the PRIN 2022 PNRR project Mapping fortified cities in early modern Southern Italy. Digital tools to investigate architectural heritage, by the University of Naples and those of Reggio Calabria and Bari. The project focuses on urban fortresses in continental southern Italy that were built in the period of the Spanish viceroyalty, or that underwent modifications or reinforcements in that period, in order to investigate the complex relationships between the models, architectural forms, the actors associated with their construction and the sites on which they stood. In detail, this proposal intends to illustrate the methodological approach of the current work, in order to the creation of an open-access inventory of fortresses as a critical census and analysis tool, useful for the valorization and preservation of the city walls and their memory in the territory.
