Methodological study on the application of the stratigraphic analysis to the New Villages of Middle Age

New Villages are little villages that grew up in the Middle Age, as a result of a sharp increase of population, in the twelfth-thirteenth centuries. These new settlements were not born spontaneously, but they were the result of the initiative of territorial lords, in order to extend their control over a certain territory and increase their revenue. The object of the research is the definition of an Atlas of urban history, a study on the representation of the history of the city in its early stages of growth, depression and rebirth, in order to identify a method of graphic rendering applicable to the New Towns of subalpine area because, currently, there is a total absence of historical atlases city of Piedmont, while these interventions are available in other parts of Italy and especially in the central and northern Europe. This study is also supported in Italy by Francesca Bocchi and Gina Fasoli for the cities of Bologna and Bassano del Grappa. A similar work is curated by Enrico Guidoni for the city of Talamone. On the international field is remarkable the work edited by Dany Sandron and Philippe Lorentz. The aim of the work is to find a method of restitution of all tissues stratified over the years, applicable to Villae Novae, analyzing the relationship between historical and cartographic analysis, with the intent to regenerate the memory of places and encourage a program of cultural action, recovery or protection.
