Abstract
The mill Alviggi in Sant'Agata de'Goti (1854) probably built on an existing ironworks and currently in ruins represents an interesting case study. Starting from a thesis work, it has led a series of insights, not only based on documentary research but also on field survey to recognize the construction phases. The general lack of documentary evidence has been bypassed by direct observations on the building and the rooms that made up the productive areas of the complex, to understand functioning and the processes sequence, as well as the different destinations of use that succeeded until the 60s of the last century. The exploitation of the power supplied by the water of the river Isclero duly channeled through hydraulic engineering works, allowed the functions of ironworks, grain mill and finally power station for public lighting. Despite the importance and the considerable size of the factory, to date the complex has not a bond, but just in the preparation of the study thesis and related research, the Superintendence, who had already expressed his interest in the building, has declared its intention to bind itI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
