THE DOMITIA COAST BETWEEN VOLTURNO AND GARIGLIANO: REQUALIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES OF A VIOLATED LANDSCAPE THROUGH VALORIZATION OF THE HISTORICAL-ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE

The area in the research's interest is comprised between the Volturno and Garigliano rivers, in Campania, where along the Tyrrhenian coast, for about 42 km, was builted extensive settlements in the 60’s and 70’s. The built conurbation is extending across some municipalities (Giugliano, Mondragone, Carinola, Sessa Aurunca, Cellole) especially along the coast, developed without planning therefore it's discontinuous, irregular, without regulators criteria and without a balanced distribution of equipment or services. These urban fragments, different but contiguous, appear almost like a mixture of rural and suburban landscapes with farmhouses and villages, residual testimonies of a profound transformation in the landscape where, since the early sixties, they appeared the first landfill and the first large settlements of holiday houses, developed without control in a scenery of absent programming. The presence, extensively in this area, of an important historical-archaeological heritage, may develop many opportunities for a sustainable valorization of this territory.
