Materia e forma dell'architettura dimenticata. Il patrimonio rupestre dell'area metropolitana di Napoli: il caso dell'Eremo di S. Maria di Pietraspaccata a Marano / Matter and form of forgotten architecture. rupestrian heritage of the Naples metropolitan area: the case of the Hermitage of S. Maria di Pietraspaccata in Marano

The rupestrian heritage of the Naples metropolitan area implements the issue of urban regeneration. The leading around, in the etymological sense of the term “suburbs”, materializes precisely in these areas that reveal a complete lack of relations between the parts, and of vital interconnections of the urban components. Even if the present contribution draws from other disciplines, it purports to be an independent and interpretative work of survey, aiming for a critical interpretation of the surviving traces and a careful functional assignment of the spaces, and formulating a reconstructive hypothesis of the site under consideration.
