Bagnoli's Future Debated: Landscape, Industry, and Utopia in Naples

Since the early 1990s, the Bagnoli industrial zone in Naples has not undergone any rehabilitation. An online meeting organized by the Consulta delle Costruzioni di Napoli, led by Alessandro Castagnaro, focused on its prospects. Notable participants included Michelangelo Russo (DIARC), Valentina Sanfelice (Commissioner Francesco Floro Flores), Claudio Collinvitti (Invitalia), Carmine Piscopo (deputy mayor), and Bruno Discepolo (regional assessor). Castagnaro expressed concerns over the 'short-sighted industrial urban planning vision' stemming from the 1904 Nitti law. The conference was associated with the MUVA exhibition 'Progetti per Bagnoli,' showcasing historical maps, paintings, visionary projects, and industrial heritage. Russo presented five main points, while Sanfelice mentioned a deadline of March 10, 2021, for land remediation approval. Collinvitti elaborated on ten significant projects, with curatorial support from Federica Fiorillo and others.
