La colombaia di Ischia: da pensatoio di Luchino Visconti al degrado per le istituzioni

La Colombaia is the name of the neo-eclectic villa, surrounded by a vast Mediterranean park, located on the northwest coast of the island of Ischia. A villa rich in memories and material and immaterial values, among which, not least, are those of a landscape nature. It became the inspiring home of the film director Luchino Visconti in the 1950s and that's the reason why his ashes rest in its park today. Tracing the history of the villa, on the one hand, this paper constitutes a document of denunciation against the current conditions of abandonment and degradation of the villa, on the other hand, puts forward a constructive proposal for a new intended use, destined to the training in the field of the film industry.
