Connessioni e stratificazioni della forma urbana. Le tracce degli anfiteatri romani e le loro risignificazioni

Abstract

Starting from the survey of the remains of Termini Imerese Roman Amphitheater and considering both its virtual reconfiguration and the architectural events that have seen the succession of different urban stratifications and re-significations, we have concentrated our interest on the cases that have determined the changes in shape and the archaeological sedimentations of some amphitheatres in Italy and Europe. From these preliminary operations the investigation work was carried out on Palermo, wanting to verify - through the survey and the redrawing of the urban fabric - the compatibility of the most recent hypotheses of location of the buildings for spectacles in the Panormus of the Roman age.
