Architecture, landscape and society along the Apuan coast
On Friday 6 February, as part of the Venerdì del CAMeC programme, we present the volume Le ville di Ronchi e Poveromo. Architetture e società 1900–1970 by Massimiliano Nocchi and Silvia Nicoli, published by Pacini Editore.
The event offers a perspective on a stretch of the Apuan coast understood as a cultural space, even before a geographical one. Between the 1920s and the 1970s, Ronchi and Poveromo became places of holidaymaking, encounter and experimentation, frequented by architects, artists, writers and intellectuals, and established themselves as laboratories of ideas on ways of inhabiting the landscape.
Through essays, photographs and careful research, the volume reconstructs the history of the villas as expressions of a subtle balance between modernity, nature and social life, restoring the portrait of an era and of a culture of living that continues to question us today.
During the event, organised in collaboration with the Associazione Amici del CAMeC, we listen to the authors and open a dialogue on the relationship between architecture, memory and place, to look at these sites with a renewed and more conscious gaze.
