Historic centers between reconstruction and recovery. Urban planning considerations on a post-earthquake survey in Amatrice and Accumoli

Francesco Fazzio
Abstract:
This paper synthesizes a research conducted for the Italian Ministry of Culture - Superintendence of Rome and Rieti between 2023 and 2024. Its principal aim is to point out the different conditions of minor settlements and built elements still presenting urban and architectural-historical value after the destructions caused by the 2016 earthquake in Central Italy. This general glance was achieved especially for the Amatrice and Accumoli territories with different analysis and studies. Their results can be considered from different points of view and allow to focus on significant aspects: data to be used as a fundamental information for post-seismic planning, different scales to be considered, available tools to be implemented to ease reconstruction and prevention in ancient small towns. A planning point of view seems to be necessary to offer effective proposals to reduce seismic risk of historical settlements in fragile territories, such the ‘inner areas’ of the Appennine Regions.
