TORVISCOSA CITTÀ -FABBRICA. PERCORSI DI CONOSCENZA, i.e. TORVISCOSA CITY-FACTORY. PATH OF KNOWLEDGE, is a didactic, research and dissemination project launched in May 2015, in collaboration with the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio, i.e. Preservation Agency of Archeology, Arts and Landscape, of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the Municipality of Torviscosa, for the valorisation of the agricultural-industrial centre addressed to the production of artificial textile fibres, built by the SNIA Viscosa company, since the late 1930s, on newly reclaimed land.
Over the years, students, trainees, thesis students, a doctoral student and a research fellow have contributed to the definition of knowledge paths, at the basis of an enlarged and multi-thematic fruition of the company-town and of its territory, roughly included in the municipal boundaries.
The various works, recomposed and reorganised here, are intended to provide a starting point for autonomous visits and in-depth studies, also in relation to past and parallel experiences and related thematic networks, having as a first reference the paths proposed by four thematic maps.
