Aurelio Galfetti - Castelgrande a Bellinzona: rifondare il senso dei luoghi

Abstract

The castle of Castelgrande and the rock on which it stands constitute an inseparable architectural and geographical ensemble. The project for their rehabilitation by Aurelio Galfetti is not only a project for their conservation and restoration, but also for ascribing to them a renewed meaning. Galfetti re-establishes the meaning of this place through two actions which since its very origins have given sense to the occupation of space by man: digging and enclosing.
