Abstract

In this paper it is presented a search for architectural restoration and urban redevelopment of the Market Square in Naples. What is common to the Anjou, the Masaniello revolution and Ferdinand IV of Borbone with the architect Francesco Sicuro? A square, Piazza Mercato, which for many centuries was a beat-ing heart of Naples and Neapolitans. This great City shopping center, opened in 1270 by Charles I of Anjou, after the first post-war period has been affected by a slow decline that brought the wonderful square to become a huge parking lot and saw the eitht-century fountains that adorn subjected to constant vandalism. To-day in the Market Square, as in many other places and here perhaps more than others, it is spectacularly photographed the historical stratification: there coexist the speculation of the fif-ties and sixties and the survival of quality architecture. A set, therefore, of great historical, urban, architectural and social that today is in a state of disrepair and has largely lost its ancient and vibrant shopping destination and trade. In this arrangement it becomes import the disproportionate volume of Palazzo Ottieri that if one side has denied the sea, on the other hand has strengthened the market castrum character. The research is divided into three phases: 1 “History”, which is conducted in-depth historical analysis of the sites; 2 “The existing Town Planning Tools”, which is studied either both the urban layout of the place or the set of existing planning instruments; 3 “The Project”, in which we propose a hypothesis building restoration of the facades and regeneration hypothesis of places to return to the square its former main function, that of “THE MARKET”
