DOCUMENTING THE HYDRAULIC AND LANDSCAPE HERITAGE FOR THE RECOVERY OF COLLECTIVE MEMORY

The paper deals with an initial analysis of agricultural landscape and irrigation canals evolutions in Po Valley, with specific reference to the Pavia area. The analysis, a multidisciplinary study guided by history, digital drawing and survey of architecture, aims to lay basis for preservation and enhancement of place-specific features, currently “forgotten,” through a narrative that enhances the close connection between the construction of the landscape and that of collective identity memory.
