Il recupero della memoria storica nei processi di trasformazione fondiaria in Capitanata, il caso Incoronata

Retracing the countryside transformation plodding process in which Capitanata was the last and greatest example of the “Ventennio” practicing, certainly has a significant valuable rediscover. Rediscovering is certainly crucial to understand the massive drainage process and field quest. It changed considerably the Foggia agricultural landscape both in a productive and in architectural way. In fact driving along the farms roads or the radial countryside routes to Foggia allows to understandeasily how the “Piano per il Tavoliere” acted,changing the territorial architectural structure behavior. Just think about the high number of countryside farmhouses or the unfinished small town (Segezia, Incoronata, Cervaro ecc...) that constellatethe landscape like “lighthouses” in a sea of wheat. The Concezio Petrucci’s Piano per il Tavoliere is the exemplification of the polycentric model theorized at the beginning of last century ; its first shyrepresentations can be seen in the Plan for Foggia in 1928. But, ten years later, in the Petrucci’s Tavoliere coordination project it will reach its stylistic and conceptual goal. The influence of the architect from Foggia will reverberate in regime architects like Giorgio Calza-Bini. In the Incoronata project Calza-Bini will change his modernist language into the Petrucci’s rural thought.
