- Abstract
Small towns' historical settlements in mountain areas are today, in most cases, in conditions of severe physical and environmental degradation. In the Alpine area, for several years, there has been an attempt to define actions in order to safeguard and revitalize the natural and built territory. The widespread state of abandonment requires the definition of new strategies to renew the traditional topic of "small alpine centres regeneration". It seems essential to define project methods in order to reinterpret, in a multidisciplinary and multiscalar way, the settlement fabric and the environmental context, analyzing the problem of underuse and/or abandonment. In this perspective, the area of the Terragnolo Valley in the province of Trento was analyzed: a valley where physical and functional abandonment and modernization require the search for new strategies to reintegrate its small settlements into a renewed vital plan. To this end, it is necessary to think about small nuclei not as separate elements from a general context, but as a systemic and, therefore, economic, social, environmental, opportunity.
