Within the Dicar and Dicatech departments of the Bari Polytechnic, a line of research has been developed on Coastal Architectural Heritage and on new ways to reuse these artifacts based on the relationships that individual structures establish with the territories to which they belong.
The need for renewed refl ection on coastal architectures matured in response to the progressive process of granting Italian lighthouses by the Italian government’s “Agenzia del Demanio”. The objective of the research was to identify the methodological and knowledge tools necessary to improve the hidden potential of an important part of the history of national civil architecture.
Lighthouses and towers, within the panorama of Italian heritage, represent elements of absolute uniqueness whose study cannot be conducted, in the fi rst instance, through careful inspection and general cataloging with the ambition of bringing order to a fairly articulated system. The proposed work refers to the redrawing and cataloging of the heritage of the 125 Lighthouses of the Tyrrhenian Sea, (largely derived from the fi rst operational program to modernize and increase maritime signaling, started in 1843 by the Regno delle due sicilie) in fi rst instance in a necessary and preliminary typological reading of the subsequent modifi cations of these buildings to support future architectural projects on these artifacts an indispensable time for navigation.
