Abstract
The summer camps are social and architecture models of the early 20th century. The phenomenon has been developed over a century by leaving historical and cultural high value facilities on the Italian coast. The large number of these buildings, their outstanding dimen-sions, their privileged position make these buildings as flag ship of public assets while having highly potentiality which makes the reuse strategically. Nowadays, in most of the cases, this heritage is facing poor conditions. This study aims to denounce the current situation of the Italian summer camps. It focuses on the buildings constructed during the Fascism since this period has been considered as the golden age of phenomena. The analysis explains the “current status” of the summer camps in order to propose a common intervention strategy along the entire territory without harming the features of each facility. The investigation was performed on 45 summer camps. They are mainly located in the north-central part of peninsula as it represents the core area of the phenomena. It was drawn up a common analytical catalogue through a critical and synthetic analysis in order to describe each element. The sample reading shows that a set of issues hinders the restoring of these buildings. Strict economic interests guided many interventions of restoration in the past while 40% of them lie unused. The research tries to define an intervention strategy by using the concept of the "sharing economy". It provides a chance to reuse the structures by following two principles: sustainability and social responsibility while opposing to current methods. What's more important, the approach allows these locations to regain their original role by promoting an example of social development and cooperation. The case study, the "Colonia Rosa Maltoni Mussolini", is located in Giulianova (TE) and it has been abandoned since 1991. The main objective of the rehabilitation and reuse of the building is to establish a new form of sustainable and socially responsible tourism, a community inside the city of Giulianova. In this direction, it was arranged a survey addressed to citizens and to external public to test the topic and to verify their needs oriented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
