Dalla città fortiticata al 'più bel chilometro d'italia'. Il volto di Reggio Calabria nel corso dei secoli.

The earthquake of 1783 represents for Reggio Calabria a split between the present and the past. The medieval urban system has been definitively abandoned due to the reconstruction of the post-earthquake city. It is possible to reconstruct the image of the eighteenth and nineteenth century city through a careful integration between historical maps and travel diaries. The Aragonese castle, the only architecture inside the walls that endured over the centuries, is the linking element among the documentary sources.
