Tuesday 30 May 2023, 10.30 am – Auditorium of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii
The redevelopment of a landscape path of about 4 kilometers extramoenia of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, a real green ring around the ancient city, capable of enhancing the link between the excavation area and the surrounding natural and agricultural landscape is the objective of the Masterplan - the object of financing with funds from the PNRR - which will be presented on Tuesday 30 May at 10,30:XNUMX am at the Auditorium degli scavi.
The key elements of the new extramoenia route are: the restoration of the walk along the walls, the enhancement of the belvederes and the creation of new landscape points, the cycle path and the service road, the rest and leisure areas, those for jogging and fitness, together with the ornithological observation points and the apiaries.
The aim of the interventions will be to return to the enjoyment of visitors a strategic area for the knowledge of ancient Pompeii, of unique landscape value in the world and which today still appears partly removed from public enjoyment and not fully integrated into the visitor route.
Anyone who comes to Pompeii for the first time today does not know the existence of another Pompeii outside the walls because, also due to the restoration work in recent years, what at the end of the 4s had been thought of as a real he pedestrian and cycle path of about XNUMX kilometers outside the walls of the ancient city, of great landscape value, has progressively degraded and been lost.
It is only in these very recent years that, by reactivating a correct and continuous maintenance of the greenery, it has been possible to rediscover and recover many of the external areas, in some cases starting a real reclamation of the weeds that had taken over the places. Furthermore, the reclamation of the large orchard of the Insula Occidentalis and of the Via dei Sepolcri above the Villa of Cicero, with the new avenue of cypresses between the Amphitheater and Porta Nola, represent two pieces of a recovery which today, with the completion of the new enclosure of the park, have made it possible to start a rethinking and redevelopment of the entire Estramenian circuit.
The planning, followed by the Park and the Studio Bellesi Giuntoli of Florence, will also include the drafting of the PEBA, that is, the Plan for the Elimination of Architectural, Physical and Sensory-Perceptive Barriers, extended to the entire perimeter of the Estramenian area and this will be followed by the planning of specific interventions aimed at ensuring the expanded accessibility of the area concerned.
“The aim is also to reach levels of use of the Estramenian circuit in complete safety and according to forms of differentiated autonomy, recreating routes that allow inclusion and therefore accessibility for all, avoiding routes reserved exclusively for the disabled, with a view to an inclusive and barrier-free welcome. – underlines the Director of the Archaeological Park, Gabriel Zuchtriegel – For this reason, a process of close and fruitful project dialogue has also been initiated with the Il Tulipano Social Cooperative, already active in the Pompeii Park, in order to prepare fully inclusive areas and paths also for people with autism and/or cognitive disabilities.”
The presentation will include:
- Gabriel Zuchtriegel – General Director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii
- Angelantonio Orlando – General Director of the Mission Unit for the Implementation of the PNRR
- Vincenzo Calvanese – Head of the Technical Office of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii
- Paolo Mighetto – Official of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and RUP
- Giovanni Minucci – The Tulip Social Cooperative
- Alberto Giuntoli – Landscaper and Partner Studio Bellesi Giuntoli
