ABSTRACT
The survival of the Italian landscape, preserved and enhanced in a connotation that is also of a social nature, necessarily involves listening to the culture of places and rejecting the standardised development of a territory that expresses beauty, continuity and harmony precisely in its differences. Despite the fact that the phenomena of modernity tend to weaken the natural, historical and cultural environment, it is inconceivable in Italy to have an idea of architecture that is unrelated to the concept of landscape, even in the face of current environmental problems. The process of recovering and enhancing the value of the ancient becomes a construction of knowledge and cultural production where awareness of the past, awareness of the present and propensity towards the future are determining factors for the dissemination and evolution of knowledge. In this context, harmonious continuity is the key to interpreting and proposing a renewed dimension of the landscape.
