Una terra tra due mari, un territorio tra frontiera e periferia. Un patrimonio architettonico e urbano che presenta una riconoscibile identità culturale, nel quadro di un genius loci poliedrico, multiforme e complesso, uno straordinario attrattore culturale. Una ricchezza paesaggistica per la quale si impone un aumento della conoscenza ma anche una più cosciente considerazione sui temi della conservazione e del restauro.

Abstract
A stretch of land separating two seas, an outpost on the way to frontier. A might cultural attraction constituted by a peculiar and a very recognizable urban and architectural heritage, which carries nestled in itself a complex and multifaceted genius loci. A landscape calling for a widespread knowledge of its wealth of treasures as well as for an increased awareness of conservation issues. The essay gathers methodologic and historical-critical content on these themes, casting a new light on the historic cities of Terra d'Otranto, on the need for a project for the deepening of its built heritage on all levels and the possibility of dealing considerations on the culture of restoration with a critical and updated look.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
