Abstract

The metaphor of palimpsest described by André Corboz refers to a form of intelligibility of the inhabited space as well as the stratification of modifications that affected it, making possible to read it from a historical perspective and avoiding an overly simplistic representation of its transformation. But the transformative dynamics which in recent decades have affected certain contexts make the land resemble a space of accumulation and crowding of objects rather than a palimpsest. The article focuses on a specific portion of the Mantuan region, to outline the phenomena that challenge the Corbozian metaphor and propose strategies to renew its possible relevance
