Project commissioned by the municipality of Bellaria Igea Marina

Project illustrated at the 12th International INU Study Day Federico II University of Naples 18 December 2020

The project is aimed at developing "Creative Gardens" in the town centre of Bellaria Igea Marina. The current locations of the Tourism Palace, ex-City Hall and The Astra Cinema are to be restored and used as places with new functions for various cultural activities. If necessary modification actions of the internal areas are carried out, the goal is to create a Media Library in the former Tourism palace, a new Town Museum in the building of the ex-City Hall, and a new public theatre in the former cinema. Here the slogan “Culture is the centre” is born, through the transformation of the public space for the collective use, able to adapt and to satisfy various requirements of the citizens in a different way. The Creative Gardens is even more a cultural project, than an urban one, where the centre of attention is focused on the cultural dimension and favours the search of talents and their achievements. The culture is perceived as energy giving new energy sources to the society.
