Il testo restituisce le vicende che portarono alla creazione dell’insediamento di Canolo Nuovo, sull’Aspromonte ionico in Calabria. Dopo una nota metodologica e una rassegna della letteratura disponibile su questo centro calabro, il contributo ripercorre le tappe che dall’alluvione del 1951 portarono al raddoppio del paese sui piani della Milea, in località Schiavone fiorentino, 500 metri più a monte, nel territorio comunale e su terre pubbliche. Il racconto si articola tra un resoconto dell’alluvione, dei danni provocati e delle richieste di intervento da parte degli enti locali al governo nazionale. Segue una disamina delle ragioni della scelta localizzativa, una presentazione del complesso residenziale fondativo realizzato nell’ambito del programma Ina-Casa, la descrizione del piano regolatore per Canolo nuovo e della sua attuazione nell’immediato e una rassegna critica dell’urbanistica del nuovo centro urbano-rurale. In conclusione, si riflette sul processo di trasferimento, sui programmi e strumenti urbanistici messi in campo e sulla forma urbana del nuovo insediamento per sottolineare le energie investite per una rinascita altrove incompiuta.
The article recounts the events that led to the creation of the settlement of Canolo Nuovo, located on the Ionian Aspromonte in Calabria. After a methodological note and a review of the available literature on this Calabrian center, the contribution outlines the steps that, following the flood of 1951, led to the doubling of the town on the Milea plains, in the Schiavone Fiorentino area, 500 meters higher, within the municipal territory and on public land. The narrative includes an account of the flood, the damage caused, and the requests for intervention from local authorities to the national government. It is followed by an examination of the reasons for the chosen location, a presentation of the foundational residential complex created under the Ina-Casa program, a description of the urban planning for Canolo Nuovo and its implementation in the immediate aftermath, and a critical review of the urban planning of the new urban-rural center. In conclusion, it reflects on the process of relocation, the urban planning programs and tools employed, and the urban form of the new settlement, emphasizing the efforts invested for a rebirth that remains incomplete elsewhere.
