Subject of this shared process “Marconi, Justice Square” is the PARTECIPATED DESIGN TO REQUALIFICATION AND REFUNCTIONALIZATION FOR MARCONI SQUARE in TARANTO.
Taranto, city with more than one center and with desparated outskirts, has enclosed in its urban mesh the nature of a complex, layered, multifaceted city. The glorious remains of the testimonies of the past coexist with a contemporary history of pulsating life and cement, poverty and wealth.
To understand Taranto we have choosen as our home its symbolic heart: Marconi Square.
It is located in the central Borgo district, in a strategic hub of the city. It has a popular soul, surrounded by buildings with well-kept architecture, and is currently abandoned to neglect. It once housed a lively market.
In Marconi Square there is ancient history, preserved in the archaeological remains hidden beneath its gardens, the memory of the sea, the popular heart, the greenery that survived the cement. For the Association Giustizia per Taranto, Marconi Square also has further significance, it is the place from which the great march for the environment started, organized by us on February 25, 2017. An event attended by thousands of people and which, in fact, represents the birth of "Giustizia per Taranto". Marconi Square is therefore the symbolic and paradigmatic place through which we would like to tell Taranto and its contradictions, pains, glory, beauty and write a different story all together.
