Design meets history and tradition

Project of conservative restoration, enhancement and reutilization of the Fort of Castagneto Carducci, located on the Tuscan coast in Castagneto Carducci, in the province of Livorno. The Fort is located on the beach of the district of Marina di Castagneto making itself clearly visible from the sea and characterizing the coastal landscape. The Fort, despite having been abandoned for years, still represents a point of reference for the community of Castagneto and expresses its cultural and historical identity.

The project stems from an in-depth analysis that investigates the cultural, territorial and historical context, highlighting on the one hand already existing and consolidated systems and on the other, possibilities for development and enhancement of the local heritage.

The project is the enhancement of the cultural and historical heritage through the restoration and reutilization project of the historical building and the integration of the Fort in an alternative network for cultural and touristic promotion with respect to the tourist-receptive system already present in the territory, that enhances the local natural heritage.
