الملخص:Since the 1960s, the concept of cultural heritage has expandedits boundaries to a growing range of artifacts, paving the way forthe allocation of cultural significance to various tangible andintangible manifestations that help us understand features of ourcultural and social history. In this process, artifacts hithertoconsidered “minor,” such as certain works of architecture andurban complexes part of the industrialization processes, acquiredcultural significance because of their documentary and socialimportance as well as because of their aesthetic characteristics.This conceptual expansion highlighted a problem to beaddressed: vast obsolete industrial areas and extensive reserves ofland waiting to be reinstated into the urban dynamics,contemporaneously identified as carriers of cultural values ??to bepreserved and interpreted, began to demand appropriateintervention projects that were designed based on theassumptions of the theory and principles of restoration. Facingthis situation, this article analyzes the urban intervention projectin the Ostiense and Marconi districts, which represent an extensivehistorical industrial area in Rome, Italy. The interventionsin progress cause us to reflect upon the issues involved in thetreatment of the industrial heritage, such as the importance ofdialogue between preservation and urban planning and theelaboration of appropriate projects to intervene in urban fabricsthat have acquired cultural significance.
