Intersezioni fra visibile e invisibile. Scavi tracce indizi per (ri-attivare) Aquileia

The moments of crisis teach us to cultivate what is essential, a feeling that we often forget. And the ruins earn our attention, because they make us feel the time, they are the mirror of our existential condition, generous promises that turn our attention in emotion. It is not just to preserve the past, we must be able to feel their breath. To design the existing we have to think in a mnemonic way, the emotional artifice that helps to transform the traces in memory of the actual experience. This paper is focused on the role of the contemporary project as narrative and mnemonic device in the archaeological invisible landscapes. The topic will be expressed through the analysis of best practices and the applied experimental design for the case study of Aquileia.
