Abstract

The case-study focusses on Byzantine fortifications along the limes that cross the region of Calabria. The theme is related to Goal 11: "Making cities and human settlements inclusive, secure, lasting and sustainable" and specifically to Goal 11.4: "Strengthen commitments to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage", set out in the 2030 Strategy Agenda. The methodological process is defined, therefore, upon improving protection measures with the use of special equipment with archaeological and architectural purposes for the relief of walled cities and fortresses in hazardous areas.

The historical heritage helps to return the identity of peoples. The application of research areas extend both into the fields of archeology and that of architecture. The overall goal is to provide a picture of the state of study and research into the Byzantine system in Calabria. A fundamental role in defining the Byzantine architectural character in Calabria has since 1970 through "Byzantine studies Meetings", with the formulation of the first archaeological map.

Il limes della Calabria bizantina: tracce, percorsi e vie

Il contributo si occuperà come caso studio delle vie bizantine in Calabria, rintracciabili e ancora riconoscibili lungo il limes che attraversa la Regione Calabria.

Il tema è riconducibile al Goal 11: "Rendere le città e gli insediamenti umani inclusivi, sicuri, duraturi e sostenibili" e nello specifico al Goal 11.4: "Rafforzare gli impegni per proteggere e salvaguardare il patrimonio culturale e naturale del mondo", presenti nella Strategia Agenda 2030.

Il contributo mostra il risultato delle campagne effettuate sui siti e sulle architetture bizantine nell’area di studio. Il processo metodologico definito è volto a migliorare gli interventi di salvaguardia, di osservazione e di analisi con finalità archeologica ed architettonica per il rilievo di città murate, architetture (sacre e civili), fortezze.

Il patrimonio storico contribuisce a restituire le identità dei popoli. Gli ambiti di applicazione della ricerca si estendono al campo dell’architettura e dell’archeologia. Il fine che ci proponiamo è quello di fornire un quadro dello stato degli studi e della ricerca sul sistema bizantino in Calabria.

Un ruolo fondamentale nella definizione dei caratteri architettonici bizantini nell’area Calabrese si ha dal 1970 con gli “Incontri di studi bizantini” e la formulazione della prima carta archeologica della Calabria.
