related to the area (parishes, town halls, etc.).
The Technical Reports of the Civil Court of Naples, preserved in the State Archives of Naples, have already been investigated for research on the capital, while they are still unexplored about the territory of the province. Here we want to show the homogeneous character of the documentary source for the studies on urban transformations of the municipalities of the province of Naples during the nineteenth century pre-unification, exemplifying some remarkable cases for the territory's image and to define the importance of the fund, according to topographic changes, that always revealed a constant metamorphosis of the place characters.

Nella storia moderna e contemporanea la città ha dovuto tenere conto delle ‘alterità’ sociali, ossia delle classi privilegiate, delle minoranze, degli stranieri e degli immigrati, e delle conseguenti diversità culturali e religiose. La compagine urbana ha strutturato alcune parti del proprio tessuto come luoghi di esercizio del potere politico, militare o di classe, altre come spazi per gli arrivi, per la produzione e per gli scambi, ma anche per l’isolamento, l’emarginazione o il rimedio alla catastrofe. Nel corso dell’età moderna l’immagine della città ‘altra’ viene spesso falsata o addirittura negata da governanti e potenti per fini di apparenza o di propaganda politica; e se, tra Sette e Novecento, nuovi metodi di rappresentazione possono svelare la struttura e il paesaggio urbano nella loro oggettività, il ritratto di città mostra ancora oggi le contraddizioni di una comunità che a volte include, o addirittura esalta, le diversità, altre volte le respinge, tradendo il malessere di una difficile integrazione.
In modern and contemporary history, the city has taken account of social ‘otherities’, namely of privileged classes, minorities, foreigners and immigrants, and of resulting cultural and religious diversity. The urban community has structured some parts of its fabric as places of political, military or class power, other parts as spaces for arrivals, for production and trade, but also for isolation, marginalization or remedy for catastrophe. In the modern age, the image of the ‘other' city’ is often falsified or even denyed by rulers and powerful people for purposes of political appearance or propaganda; and if, between the XVII and XX century, new methods of representation can reveal the structure and the urban landscape in their objectivity, the city portrait still shows the contradictions of a community that sometimes includes or even enhances the diversities, other times rejects them, betraying the malaise of a difficult integration.

Questa rassegna intende così contribuire a esemplificare a scala internazionale gli sviluppi multidisciplinari raggiunti dagli studi sull’iconografia urbana in occasione dei cinquant’anni della Cartografia della città di Napoli di Cesare de Seta e a ridosso dei venticinque anni della costituzione del Centro Studi sull’Iconografia della Città Europea (poi CIRICE).

The parchment, which has handed down the scriptures since the Middle Ages, was a material of great value and was reused, abraded, sometimes inverted and rewrittenseveral times, while never losing its ‘stratification’, traces of which remained legible.The city and its territory are like a parchment, transformed by the action of nature and man, and endowed over the centuries with different meanings in relation to the societies that modify them, without however erasing the signs of time, both natural and anthropic. Are the studies that have improved over the years still current? The answer is clearly affirmative and the layers that appear today superimposable in urban fabrics and in their territories represent for our society a legacy not to be erased, but, indeed, to be known and enhanced.We would like to ask ourselves about this complex patrimony of tracks, images, narrations: how did we get to the current urban complexity? how can we describe our cities? how do we see and represent them? how can we recover and enhance them?

Città e paesaggio, infatti, continuamente soggetti a operazioni di cancellature e riscritture – in termini di progetto e restauro, di tutela e valorizzazione, di disegno e ridisegno – sono i testimoni visivi di come appare a noi il palinsesto oggi, grazie al connubio sempre più stretto fra tecnologie e strumenti di visione, in un'ottica proiettiva e trasformativa fortemente relazionale.

L’obiettivo e quello di analizzare architetti minori o per nulla noti attraverso ricerche bibliografiche e d’archivio, cioe allineare dietro a quei nomi individuati dalle fonti, le testimonianze della loro operosita, al fine di ottenere per la prima volta un inventario organico dei tecnici attivi nell’Ottocento preunitario a Napoli. Inoltre si evidenziano alcuni progetti inediti rinvenuti durante le ricerche.

Until the Eighteenth century the valleys were defined as the «deep pits», which surrounded and defended the city, but it is from the early Nineteenth century that they began to become a landscape, being included among the attractions of Sorrento by Hackert and Turpin de Crisse. The contribution aims to analyze the interest that the ‘Vallone dei Mulini’ has aroused in European travelers and the iconographic fortune that derives from it, in views, paintings, engravings, lithographs and photographs, up to being reinterpreted by contemporary artists and personalities from the world of culture, becoming the inspiration for inlays and nativity scenes.
