PIAZZA MATTEOTTI PUBLIC GARDENS

A WELCOMING AND VITAL SPACE

The proposal for the requalification of Piazza Matteotti ’ s public gardens offered an opportunity to re-design a historic place from the early 1900s , which had been distorted by stratification of subsequent interventions , and to restore a new identity to the gateway to Castiglion Fiorentino ’ s historic center ( Arezzo -Tuscany ), providing citizens with a welcoming and vital space in one of the most beautiful terraces on the Val di Chiana .

The design aims to simplify and hierarchize the elements that compose the space , emphasizing once again the vegetation that , with the new planimetric design , is back to being the protagonist .
