Segezia

To reach Segezia needs, as it remembers Pennacchi, to pass under a double row of eucalyptus ‘ trees that connect them toward the center; the tall bell tower, well visible also from far, guide like a lighthouse in the countryside. Segezia is born in the strategic sketch performed by the Onc driven by Araldo Di Crollalanza and technically submitted, with the Urbanistic Plan of the Tavoliere, to the architect of foggiana’s origin Concezio Petrucci. The objective of the intervention is to put in evidence the system of division of land of farmhouses spread that have in the town centers and suburbs the points of reference of the gravitating polycentric constellation around Foggia. In the project for Segezia, certainly a point of arrival for Petrucci, it is clearly visible the stylistic jump made in the elaboration of the plan and in the built restitution; it is a clean, dry and centrifugal system, a feature proper of the systems theorized by the leader teacher of the organic movement, Frank Lloyd Wright. From the point of view stylistic reports clearly a planning evolution, the architect’s architectural will, (prematurely disappeared), the point of arrival of a search who often engaged him with the theme of the rural city - theme that has been often ignored by the great architects of the time focused more on the architectural object - and that it stays, in every way, his last realized work.
