|---|---|
| Palazzo Pontillo is situated in Chianalea, the oldest neighborhood of Scilla in Reggio Calabria (Italy). Records date it back to the 15th Century but it may be the result of the structural evolution of an older building. This House stands at the sea along with many other houses of this settlement, known as ?The Little Venice of the South?, a fishermen village, since the Greek colonization. Earthquakes in 1783 and 1908 destroyed Reggio and Messina cities, Chianalea was also largely affected. The village also suffered a gradual depopulation. As a result of this and also due to coastal erosion -and lack of maintenance- today Palazzo Pontillo is deeply deteriorated. This paper shows the study of the original construction techniques and materials that will lead to the recovery of the House, both adapting it to the current standards and giving it a new use. This would help to sustain the identity of Chianalea preserving the House as a witness of the building construction historical evolution. | |
