Il patrimonio dell’elettricità: una risorsa culturale da valorizzare

Landscapes and electrical architectures represent a significant evidence of the history of many countries between the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a heritage that, till now, has only been partially investigated and whose knowledge, conservation, and ultimately enjoyment of an ever wider and not necessarily specialized public should be promoted. The artifacts connected with the production of hydroelectric power and the traces of the infrastructural works necessary for their construction represent a real cultural resource that, if integrated with other resources characterizing the mountainous areas, could gain greater visibility and legibility. They could make these areas more interesting and attractive not only for their natural and landscape assets, but also for the historical-cultural ones, contributing to the re-activation of these territories
