Water Plots. Landscapes and community tales.

Today, spreading a new awareness around the role that water assumes in the territorial and landscape configuration is at least necessary. The research highlights some issues deriving from the dialogue with three subjects in the Mantova area who daily experience a different relationship with water: the administration of Marmirolo which has to challange itself with the presence of the canal Pozzolo-Maglio, the municipality of Roverbella which is crossed by a dense network of canals and receives just indirectly the influence of the Mincio River, and the Consorzio Territori del Mincio which faces the presence of water with a more systemic viewpoint. The title expresses the desire to include in the project the metaphor of the plot which, as a report of the facts, is suitable for taking on other shades of meaning. This is how the project involves, on the one hand, the theme of the identity plot, intended as that dense network of elements, more or less tangible, able of connecting places and generations, on the other, the theme of the dynamic plot, interpreted as the twist of different forms of water which over time have contributed to the evolution of this territory both in terms of support and nourishment. In light of the heterogeneous richness emerged from the analysis of these places, the project aims at the composition of a large network of potentialities that dialogue in synergy with the Mincio route and which constitute a privileged field of exploration for sustainable uses.
