Il saggio introduce gli esiti della ricerca Lost and Found. Processes of abandonment of the architectural and urban heritage in inner areas: Causes, effects, and narratives (Italy, Albania, Romania), che studia come i fattori di abbandono e i loro effetti possano aver influenzato i processi di costruzione di memoria e identità nel corso del XX secolo e come tali processi potrebbero condizionare l’attuale percezione e interazione con questi luoghi da parte delle comunità, dunque le potenziali strategie di ripopolamento e riuso o di abbandono consapevole. In particolare, poi, il saggio riflette sulle potenzialità dell’approccio history-based, che ha ispirato la ricerca, in quei casi in cui l’abbandono è causato oltre che da fattori socio-economici, anche da significativi fattori di rischio fisico (idrogeologico, sismico, ecc.). Per approccio history-based si intende qui un metodo che inquadra in una dimensione storica le ragioni profonde dell’abbandono e le conseguenti ripercussioni su territori e insediamenti nell’idea che le interpretazioni che ne derivano possano aiutare a valutare le potenzialità per il rilancio di questi territori o, al contrario, l’impossibilità di un “ritorno in vita”. Inoltre, il saggio spiega come questo approccio si sia rivelato utile nella verifica dei processi di costruzione della memoria che hanno condizionato la percezione delle aree in esame (la Calabria meridionale, la regione di Argeș in Romania e la valle del Drino in Albania) la cui storia è in vario modo segnata da catastrofi naturali.
Riding the wave of interest in small rural and mountainous centres in inner areas that the recent pandemic season has reinvigorated, the essay reflects on the potential of a history-based approach to studying these areas, where abandonment is caused not only by socio-economic factors but also by significant physical risks (hydrogeological, seismic, etc.). The essay also introduces the findings of the research Lost and Found: Processes of Abandonment of the Architectural and urban heritage in inner areas: Causes, Effects, and Narratives (Italy, Albania, Romania), which examines how abandonment factors and their effects may have influenced memory and identity construction processes throughout the 20th century, and how these processes could affect the current perception and interaction with these places by communities, hence potential strategies for repopulation, reuse, or conscious abandonment.
