Abstract

Despite the increasing number of archaeological studies, the 4th-century-old Early Christian settlement in Cimitile still represents an urban-architectural episode difficult to be interpreted, as archaeologist Lehmann pointed out few years ago. To both expand the visited areas and regain open spaces for citizens, a work on-site has been developed over the years, a unitary process in which adopted techniques and technologies and archaeological, urban, architectural survey have been continuously intersected with design, giving the first significant results from the point of view of attraction and realization. In particular, for the intervention on the margin redefinition in Via Pozzo Nuovo, during the archaeological excavations planned for the realization of the high-low levels connection to the basilicas, it was possible to understand that, below some abandoned houses in Cimitile historic center, there were significant spaces connected to the “new basilica”, object of previous studies and reconstructions made by Gino Chierici and other archaeologists. As the excavations were carried on, different design proposals have been elaborated, conceived like many different interpretations on the topic of connection, with the intent of choosing a solution that, while not aspiring to become definitive, has eventually led to a deep renewal in the configuration, the image and the perception of the basilicas themselves.
