The role of confraternities in institutional, urban and architecture planning (1400-1700).
Heritage-led innovation for the cultural, economic and social advancement of communities: Naples, Palermo and Cagliari
PNRR M4C2: PRIN 2022
Acronym: CNPCH | Confraternite Napoli, Palermo e Cagliari
Description
The project aims at recovering the historical memory of archconfraternities in order to identify innovative and sustainable strategies for enhancing cultural heritage and initiating processes of local development. Central issues to be addressed in the project include: the presence and control of urban space, the patronage and production of architecture and the welfare and economic activities of confraternities in the three capital cities of Naples, Cagliari and Palermo (1400-1700). Starting from the archives produced by these institutions the project will focus on the dynamism of some confraternities and, at the same time, on the strategies of property acquisition and architectural patronage over the centuries.
