Thankfully i’ve had the opportunity to experience and study abroad, as well as outside my hometown at the Milan Polytechnic. During my master’s degree program, delivered in English, i was able to work with people from a variety of parts of the world, mostly from outside Europe: this opportunity allowed me to develop a remarkable ability to work in a team, even during the difficulties of the lockdown. My formation has always been driven by a strong curiosity that has led me to regularly try my hand at new challenges: learning how to use softwares without anyone teaching me, researching different graphic and expressive languages, understanding how to develop the narrative of a project in a creative way, trying my hand at digital illustration.

The project is part of a National Program with which the Italian Government intends to develop new innovative teaching models and imagine the school of the future in the countryside. The school will be built in record time by 2026. The new Primary School Built was conceived as a real civic center open to citizens, capable of host innovative and dynamic educational activities in constant change. tervention is designed as a suitable place for moments of sharing and aggregation.
Il progetto fa parte di un Programma nazionale con cui il Governo italiano intende sviluppare nuovi modelli didattici innovativi e immaginare la scuola del futuro in campagna. La scuola sarà costruita a tempo di record entro il 2026. La nuova Scuola Primaria Costruita è stata concepita come un vero e proprio centro civico aperto ai cittadini, in grado di ospitare attività didattiche innovative e dinamiche in continuo cambiamento. tervento è pensato come luogo adatto a momenti di condivisione e aggregazione.
The new building will be built with a CLT load-bearing panel structure in certified wood, favoring the creation of a sustainable building and fully adhering to the concept of reversible building. Inserting itself in an area subject to landscape restrictions, the added architectural language is inspired by the existing environmental context, reinterpreting it in a contemporary key through the use of local materials and recalling the morphological characteristics of the village with pitched roofs
Il nuovo edificio sarà realizzato con una struttura a pannelli portanti CLT in legno certificato, favorendo la realizzazione di un edificio sostenibile e aderendo pienamente al concetto di edificio reversibile.

I materiali utilizzati per la facciata sono la pietra arenaria compatta locale di colore sabbia, mentre per la copertura è stato scelto un rivestimento in lamiera di alluminio con finitura effetto bronzo, che richiama un materiale dal forte valore storico e che garantisce la continuità cromatica con il paesaggio.
Carrara’ancient marble railway
Professore: Sara Protasoni academic year 2021/2022
Project location: Carrara, Tuscany, Italy

The project is based in the city of Carrara, in the area between the coast and the quarries. The focus of the design is the old railway station used for the marble route, now disused but of great historical, economical and cultural significance. But how can this area of town be given back a positive identity that can go beyond the environmental devastation caused by the excavations? What possible services could improve the quality of life? How can public space be given a new importance and recognisability?
Il progetto ha sede presso la città di Carrara, nella zona intermedia tra il litorale e le cave. Focus del design è l’antica stazione ferroviaria usata per la via marmifera, ad oggi in disuso ma dalla forte rilevanza storica, economica e culturale.
Ma come poter restituire a questa zona cittadina un’identità positiva al di là della devastazione ambientale causata dagli scavi? Quali servizi potrebbero migliore la qualità della vita? Come donare una nuova importanza e una nuova riconoscibilità allo spazio pubblico?
Since the second half of the 19th century, the ‘marble railway’ has been a fundamental artery for the city: the transport of the primary commodity, marble, took place from the mountains to the sea via it and its role in the collective imagination is still predominant today.
Dalla seconda metà dell’800 la “ferrovia del marmo” è stata un’arteria fondamentale per la città: il trasporto del bene primario, il marmo, avveniva dalle montagne al mare tramite di essa e il suo ruolo nell’immaginario collettivo è tutt’oggi predominante.
The current town planning reflects the economic importance of the quarries, which in recent decades have been the cause of a gentrification that has led to a high concentration of industrial and commercial buildings between the excavation pole and the sea.
L’assetto urbanistico attuale è specchio dell’importanza economica delle cave che negli ultimi decenni sono state causa di una gentrificazione lavorativa che ha portato ad un’alta concentrazione di edifici industriali e commercili tra il polo degli scavi e quello del mare.
A pressing problem in this area is the risk of flooding: there is a lack of appropriate water management for the Carrione river, which passes right through the middle of the project area. Appropriate embankments and infrastructure are totally absent. This must be taken into account in the design phase by aiming for resilient interventions.
Un problema premente di questa zona è il rischio allagamento: manca un’appropriata gestione delle acque del Carrione che passa proprio nel mezzo dell’area di progetto. Argini ed infrastrutture appropriate sono totalmente assenti. Di questo bisogna tener conto nella fase progettuale puntando ad interventi resilienti.

The site mapping shows that our project area has a strategic location: we are located at the point where the Apuan Alps come very close. The area is characterised by low residential and some commercial buildings, and is crossed by the Carrione stream. Around it we find the landscape of the Alps with its forests and cultivations.
Dalla mappatura del sito si evince come la nostra area di progetto abbia una locazione strategica: ci troviamo in cui punto in cui le Alpi Apuane si avvicinano rilevantemente. L’area è caratterizzata da bassi fabbricati residenziali e alcuni commerciali, ed è attraversata dal torrente Carrione. All’intorno troviamo il paesaggio delle Alpi con le sue foreste e le coltivazioni.

The project area stretches from the edge of the old city centre to the Peghini yard, the former station of the marble railway. There are numerous traces of the iconic infrastructure on the site, such as the remains of tracks or bridges that were used to cross the Carrione.
L’area del progetto va dal margine del vecchio centro storico allo scalo Peghini, antica stazione della ferrovia del marmo. Proprio per questo sul sito troviamo numerose tracce dell’iconica infrastruttura, quali resti dei binari o dei ponti che servivano per attraversare il Carrione.
The regeneration project focuses on ‘slow-mobility’ and the use of public spaces, so as to enhance this part of the city once again: by reconnecting all the ‘traces’ of the old railway, we can tell the story of the marble, and thus of the city and its citizens. The main poles are connected thanks to a safe and functional cycle-pedestrian path. The main green area, now abandoned, is recovered and transformed into a cycle park that becomes a ‘bridge’ between the former station area and the area that then descends towards the coast.
Il progetto di rigenerazione si focalizza sulla “slow-mobility” e sulla fruizione degli spazi pubblici, di modo da valorizzare nuovamente questa parte della città: riconnettendo tutte le “tracce” della vecchia ferrovia, possiamo raccontare la storia del marmo, e quindi della città e dei suoi cittadini. I principali poli vengono connessi grazie a un percorso ciclo-pedonale sicuro e funzionale. La principale area verde, ad oggi abbandonata, viene recuperata e trasformata in un parco ciclabile che diventa un “ponte” tra l’area della ex stazione e quella che poi scende verso il litorale.
Schematisation of pre-existing traces in the vast green area that is now abandoned.
Schematizzazione delle tracce pre-esistenti nella vasta area verde ad oggi abbandonata.
The track design is used for the design of the pedestrian cycle path within the park.
Il disegno delle tracce viene utilizzato per il design del percorso ciclo pedonale all’interno del parco.
The layout of the cycle park creates new public spaces and meeting places in a natural way, acquiring the function of transit but also of rest, thus fulfilling the task of the infrastructure but also that of the square.
L’assetto del parco ciclabile crea in modo naturale nuovi spazi pubblici e luoghi d’incontro, acquisendo la funzione di transito ma anche di sosta, assolvendo quindi il compito dell’infrastruttura ma anche quello della piazza.
The key point of the project is that it is articulated in its vertical dimension: to date, the topography of the area, which is irregular and full of unevenness, is limiting as it creates numerous barriers. The design solution complements this topographical layout and transforms it into richness, allowing the creation of articulated spaces rich in two-dimensionality.
The creation of an overhead cycle path allows a safe crossing of the road and face accessibility of the site: in this way a critical point is overturned and becomes an element of design recognition.
Il punto chiave del progetto è che esso si sviluppa in modo articolato nella sua dimensione verticale: ad oggi la topografia dell’area, irregolare e ricca di dislivelli, risulta limitante poichè crea numerose barriere. La soluzione progettuale si va ad integrare a questo assetto topografico e lo trasforma in ricchezza, permettendo la creazione di spazi articolati e ricchi di bidimensionalità.
La creazione di un passaggio ciclabile sopra-elevato permette l’attraversamento stradale in totale sicurezza e la face accessibilità dei luoghi: in questo modo viene ribaldato un punto critico che diventa invece elemento di riconoscibilità progettuale.
The existing market square is made fully pedestrianised and equipped with street furniture and appropriate vegetation. The social function of the square is re-established, making it the main entrance to the park.
La piazza del mercato, già esistente, viene resa totalmente pedonale e attrezzata con arredo urbano e opportuna vegetazione. Viene ristabilita la funzione sociale della piazza che diventa in questo modo l’entrata principale del parco
To overcome the irregular topography, we have an elevated cycle and pedestrian bridge to connect the highest part of the park to another existing bridge, now pedestrian, to create a connection to the Alpine promenade.
Un ponte ciclo-pedonale sopraelevato connette la parte più alta del parco a un altro ponte già esistente, trasformato in passaggio pedonale, per creare un collegamento con la passeggiata per le Alpi.
At this point in the park we find traces of the pre-existing marble railway. The design choice is to give value to the remains, highlighted by the use of paving and made enjoyable by the street furniture.
In questo punto del parco troviamo delle tracce della pre-esistente ferrovia del marmo. La scelta progettuale è quella di dare valore alle rimanenze, evidenziate dall’uso della pavimentazione e rese godibili dall’arredo urbano.
In this zoom we have a second disused railway station, which becomes the starting point of the slow mobility route. The space is redeveloped into a square and the old structure becomes an exhibition pavilion on the history of marble.
Qui abbiamo una seconda stazione della ferrovia, che diventa il punto di partenza e del percorso di slow mobility. Lo spazio viene riqualificato in una piazza e la vecchia struttura diventa un padiglione espositivo sulla storia del marmo.
“Dal fondo della carrozza, osservò la campagna. Allora rivide quei grandi acquedotti, fantasmi di pietra, che aveva notato passando; solo che invece di essere a destra, ora erano a sinistra. Capì che la vettura aveva fatto dietrofront e che lo stava riportando a Roma.”

Project location: Rome, Lazio, Italy
The quarries of the Appia Antica park have played an important role in the history of Rome and still today represent a cultural and archaeological heritage of great value. It must be recognized that they directly affect architecture since they constitute a tangible historical document as well as a form of cultural heritage that must be valorised, as a great opportunity for valorising the landscape and the territory. This is conceivable according to the principles of landscape reintegration and integration with social, cultural and economic functions; always in the logic of reintegration and restoration.
Le cave del parco dell’Appia Antica hanno avuto un ruolo importante nella storia di Roma e ancora oggi rappresentano un patrimonio culturale e archeologico di grande valore. Bisogna riconoscere che esse interessano direttamente l’architettura poiché costituiscono un documento storico tangibile nonché una forma di patrimonio culturale che deve essere valorizzato, in quanto grande opportunità per il territorio. Ciò è pensabile secondo i principi di reinserimento paesaggistico per funzioni sociali, culturali ed economiche
through the abandone quarries along the Appia Antica
/A new scenario for the site of Casal Rotondo
Framing
In the diagram, we can see the main city infrastructures, including the GRA ring road and the various main axes starting from the city centre. Among these is the Via Appia Antica, the ‘Regina Viarum’; which, starting from the Forum, served the connections to Brindisi.
Nel diagramma è possibile vedere le principali infrastrutture cittadine, tra cui quella anulare del GRA e i vari principali assi che partono dal centro storico. Tra questi si collo la via Appia Antica, la “Regina Viarum” che partendo dai Fori serviva i collegamenti fino a Brindisi.
The Via Appia in the stretch from the core of Ancient Rome, to well beyond the perimeter of the GRA, remains to this day a historical site of rare fascination lined with tombs, sepulchres and monumental complexes.
La via Appia nel tratto che parte dal nucleo della Roma Antica, fino a ben oltre il perimetro del GRA, resta tutt’oggi un sito storico di rara fascinazione costeggiato da tombe, sepolcri e complessi monumentali.
The fifth and sixth miles of the Regina Viarum are those in which the site of Casal Rotondo is framed. Characterised by a strongly concentrated historicity, in this section the Via remains easily usable for the user as a pedestrian, at least up to the point where it is ‘cut’ precisely by Via di Casal Rotondo.
Il V e il VI miglio della Regina Viarum sono quelli in cui si inquadra il sito di Casal Rotondo. Caratterizzati da una storicità fortemente concentrata, in questo tratta la Via resta facilmente fruibile per l’utente in quanto pedonale, almeno fino al punto in cui viene “tagliata” proprio da Via di Casal Rotondo.
Framing
Project site
From the cartography it is possible to see how the constitution of the Appia Antica Urban Park allowed the Via and the surrounding artefacts to ‘survive’ the suffocation of Roman urbanism. In this way it is integrated into the context of the original Agro Romano, passing through farms and cultivated land.
Dalla cartografia è posssibile notare come la costituzione del Parco urbano dell’Appia Antica abbia permesso alla Via e ai manufatti circostanti di “sopravvivere” al soffocamento dell’urbanismo romano. In questo modo essa risulta integrata nel contesto dell’originario Agro Romano, attraversando aziende agricole e terreni coltivati.
Anyone who does not stop at superficial observation must take note of the fact that the quarries dotting the surroundings of the Via Appia are part of an articulated and complex system that completes and enriches the dimension of the park. These quarries can be classified into underground quarries, of which the Caffarella is the main site, and open quarries: although the two types date back to different historical periods, they both contribute to forming the ‘other side’ of the Via Appia.
Chiunque non si soffermi a un’osservazione superficiale deve prendere atto del fatto che le cave che costellano i dintorni della Via Appia, facciano parte di un sistema articolato e complesso che va a completare e ad arricchire la dimensione del Parco. Queste cave sono classificabili in cave ipogge, di cui la Caffarella è principale sito, e cave a cielo aperto: nonostante le due tipologie risalgano a periodi storici differenti, contribuiscono entrambe a formare l’”altra faccia” della Via Appia.

Pre-existing rural house rehabilitation
The remains of the pre-existing farmhouse are recovered through a rehabilitation and restoration operation. The architectural intervention consists of a light structure of wood and polycarbonate that is installed inside and around the perimeter of the walls, without ever touching them, giving new life and functionality to the site while maintaining the “ ruins value”.
I resti del casale pre-esistente vengono recuperati con un’operazione di risanamento e restauro. L’intervento architettonico consiste in una struttura leggera di legno e policarbonato che si installa all’interno e all’intorno del perimetro delle mura, senza mai toccarle, donando nuova vita e funzionalità al sito seppur mantenendo il “valore della rovina”.
In the lower forecourt, in front of the former aggregate chutes, the crusher structure is set on the traces of what had been a weighbridge. The architectural language is the same as that of the farmhouse element: only this time wood and polycarbonate, airy and light, depart from a solid concrete podium that unifies the whole and constitutes the most material part, just as the old walls do in the case of the farmhouse.
Nel piazzale inferiore, davanti gli ex scivoli per inerti, si imposta la struttura del frantoio sulle tracce di quella che era stata una pesa a ponte. Il linguaggio architettonico è lo stesso dell’elemento del casale: solo che questa volta legno e policarbonato, ariosi e leggeri, dipartono da un podio solido di cemento che unifica il tutto e costituisce la parte più materica, proprio come nel caso del casale fanno le vecchie mura.
