Workshop with Edoardo Cresci, architect and lecturer in Architectural and Urban Design at the University of Florence In collaboration with the Ordine degli Architetti P.P.C. della Provincia di Lucca
«All our words for ‘country’ are the same as we use for ‘street'».
A centuries-old network of paths still exists, linking the mountain hamlets of the municipality of Camaiore. Paths that were once vital, studded with traces of man and his history, which today fear atrophy and loss of memory.
After a survey of the sections of the ancient footpaths linking the villages of Santa Lucia, Monteggiori, La Culla, Greppolungo, Casoli, Metato, Summonti, Agliano Peralla, Torcigliano, Gombitelli, Migliano, Orbicciano and Fibbiano, the question of ‘what’ and ‘how’ to do or not to do, today, for these streets, for these places, is posed.
That is, the question arises of ‘how’ to look at the present with the future in mind, the question of the project, which should perhaps not lack the wisdom of wanting to take care of collecting and prolonging into tomorrow that which, however anonymous or minor, is identifiable and vital in our past, that is, is still perceivable as part of our being and from whose traces it still seems possible to imagine the construction of a fragment of a desirable future.
