SUBMERGED WORLDS. Taranto: the image of a hidden Mediterranean Historical Center

Another world is disappearing. The landscape of the city, as well as the whole Gulf of Taranto, seems to be almost inscrutable, always in search of a nostalgic connection, of an Odysseian nostos, desperately seeking an opportunity to forestall oblivion. In the same moment Argan speaks about cultural infamy, the Institute for Industrial Reconstruction (Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale, IRI) was filming a splendid documentary on the great landscape and geographic transformation and the new metallic topography that was about to replace the pages written by the ancient masserie.
