Different meanings of memory, a value for a complex landscape design

Our researches, with particular reference to the Mantuan design experience aimed at enhancing the Prati Stabili of the Mincio Valley, return a series of interesting considerations related to the historical context. Among the various aspects, what emerges is the theme of dynamism applied to landscape, according to which it corresponds only to one of the possible configurations that the territory can assume over time, and the theme of landscape as a common good and a fundamental element for the consolidation of identity, as also underlined by the European Landscape Convention. The historical layering largely determined by humans together with the idea of landscape as a stimulating place for the individual awareness, testify the mutual relation between man and context, opening a window on the role that memory can play in this interconnection.
