Cittadella
The walled city of Cittadella, in Veneto, was built in 1220 by the Municipality of Padova in opposition to the city of Castelfranco.
In recent years its historical center has been an important laboratory of renovation, conservation and re-animation practice.
Since 1994, Studio Valle has leaded the renovation works of the walls, through interventions project divided into four phases, each corresponding to one of the 4 sectors of the fortified system.
The initial project was recently completed with the completion of the entire perimeter of the walls.
The reintegration of the rampart walk, for a total length of 1460 meters, now has a double meaning: makes acessable a monument until a few years ago unreachable and gives a new tool, the path, for the care, maintenance, diagnostics and monitoring of the ancient monument.
The old wounds, the weaknesses of the old fortress, opened by historical events now have became the strengths of the contemporary city, which finds new vitality and energy through the operation of its walls, in the composition of ancient and modern.
Exhibition
In the exhibition the work produced over the course of fifteen years is exposed. Drawings, renderings and collages printed for different Awards along the years have been collected and now shown all together to give an overview over of the process of renovation of the Cittadella Walls.
The motivation expressed by the Jury of each prize represents the value that each individual project itself, but also an added value. This extra value is the overall unity of the Cittadella project, that underline the nature of ideal City, symbolically expressed by the Award for town planning and land use planning Luigi Piccinato, won in 2005.
One of the highlight of the exhibition is the model created for the prize Centocittà, that we decided to keep and completed, as simbol of the 20 years of the work on the walls.
This prize invented by Renzo Piano and won "for the quality of urban design and the high value environmental restoration that covers the walls at the end of the rehabilitation and preservation of the historic center,(...)” was the beginning of everything. That's why the old model has an emotive value: now completed it reproduces the overall shape of this Palace of the Giants, who are the walls of the Citadella, now restored and entirely practicable. The rampart walk, took over the function of connecting the exhibition and cultural spaces scattered along its perimeter and at the same time to frame the walls like a work of art. All the Awards are dedicated to the city, its walls, and to who believed in this project. Someone used to say: All this is not about preserving the past, but to realize his hopes, or, better, our interpretation of them.

The exhibition
In the Church of Torresino, are exposed the results of the architectural work produced over the course of fifteen years by the Studio Valle. Photos of interventions, plans, drawings are shown in plans of beautiful graphic, laying on tables of recylced wood painted white.
All the plans are divided into phases, corresponding to the quadrants of the walls and to time when the different work was performed. All the graphical material, drawings and pictures, are most of the time original panels produced for an Award or a Price: during this long period the awards had with individual projects mark the time of the restoration of the ruins. The motivation expressed by the Jury for each one, represents the value that each individual project itself, but also an added value, given by the unit overall, an idea that underlies the city, symbolically expressed in the grounds of the Prize for Urban and planning Luigi Piccinato, won in 2005.
We wanted to complete the model created for the award Centocittà, which rappresent the beginning of this adventure in the year 2000. That's why we restored the model and compledeted with the other half of the city, completing the overall shape of this "House of Giants" that the walls of the Cittadella are.
he rampart walk, took over the function of connecting the exhibition spaces and cultural scattered along its perimeter and at the same time to frame the walls like a work of art.
Studio Valle wants to dedicate all the awards to the city, its walls, and to who believe in this project. We don't care to preserve the past, but to realize its hopes.
