VILLA REPACI
Palmi, Italy
The aim of the project was to recover the
abandoned and devastated structure of the Villa, former home to the famous
Italian writer Leonida Raci (1898-1986), and to transform it into a public
centre with various cultural and commercial activities attractive for either
local or visitors to Palmi.
The project therefore pursued four main
objectives:
- Memory / An archive of historical events.
There was a need of the local people to
remember the activities that had been developed over the centuries following an
itinerary, which was inspired by recent cultural and anthropological findings.
-- Present and Future / A place for young creativity
The ground floor of the Villa was to function as
an "incubator". A place of confrontation for young creatives as well as for new
forms of entrepreneur-ship that may arise.
- Present and Future / A place for exhibitions.
The pavilion will be a completely new building
made of steel, glass and wood, very transparent and wide open towards the
surrounding park.
It will be home to exhibitions and shows of the
works created and matured in the "incubator" or from other places of the
council of Palmi.
- Present and Future / The park " nature representing
continuity
The park will become a garden with a great
variety of locally growing plants containing many species of the typical flora
of the Mediterranean. "The memory, which draws on history,
which in turn feeds it, aims at saving the past only in order to serve the
present and the future. We must ensure that the collective memory will always
serve only to free people and never to enslave them." Jacques Le Goff
