Since the 1950s, the urban structure of Abruzzo has gradually polarized on the area of Pescara-Chieti, as the expression of a series of location and settlement advantages. There, the trade sector, favoured by a period of expansion of large-scale commercial distribution, represented a powerful vehicle for territorial convergence and cohesion, contributing to the progressive process of marginalization of urban proximity trade. The aim of this work is to go beyond the opposition between suburban shopping center/central urban trade and to propose an interpretation at intra-urban scale that starts from peripheral neighbourhoods and peculiar spaces: They are able, in some cases, to better represent urban identity, but, above all, to provide a favourable observation point from which to promote a balanced and sustainable reorganization of the city.
La sacralità delle acque s'inserisce all'interno di una più ampia tematica di interesse multidisciplinare focalizzata sullo studio di un particolare aspetto del rapporto uomo-natura in cui il singolo e/o la collettività riconoscono ed attribuiscono un valore sacro agli elementi della natura imprimendo sul territorio un messaggio culturale relativo al loro rapporto con la divinità. In relazione a quest'ultimo aspetto l'acqua ha generato percorsi cultuali esplicitati in rappresentazioni artistiche e narrative in grado di arricchire di valenze culturali il territorio. Il percorso di ricerca inizia con una sintetica disamina sulla sacralità della natura e dell'acqua, per poi includere alcune riflessioni sull'opportunità di utilizzare lo strumento letterario per valorizzare le fonti del periodo di precristiano ricordate in o o poemi. La notevole mole di “spa” letterari ha suggerito come caso di studio la fonte romana dedicata alla Ninfa Egegeria.
