Sebbene i disastri naturali verificatisi in Calabria – terremoti, frane e alluvioni – nel corso del XX secolo siano stati numerosi e abbiano spesso causato danni molto gravi, identificare gli effetti sul patrimonio edilizio è piuttosto difficile. Una delle ragioni di questa mancanza di identificazione è che molti lavori di intervento post-disastro non sono stati completamente documentati. Il presente saggio propone alcune note su questi aspetti, concentrandosi sul caso di Ferruzzano che, per la sequenza di eventi accaduti in questo piccolo centro nel corso del XX secolo, può essere considerato particolarmente interessante. In questa prospettiva, si può infatti affermare come la storia sismica di Ferruzzano sia rilevante sia in termini di effetti sul patrimonio costruito, sia in termini di problematiche sociali, considerando il conseguente processo di “abbandono infinito” che ha caratterizzato tutto il XX secolo.
Although the natural disasters which occurred in Calabria – earthquakes, landslides and floods – during the 20th century have been numerous and have often caused very serious damage, identifying the effects on the built heritage is quite difficult. One of the reasons for this lack of identification is that much post-disaster intervention work was not fully documented. The present essay seeks to develop these aspects, focusing on the case of Ferruzzano which, due to the sequence of events that occurred in this small town during the twentieth century, may be considered particularly interesting
