Th... more Mediterranean cities bear traces of their past, despite the most recent urban transformations. The paper focuses on the town of Candia, a strategic site in Venice’s maritime domain (1207-1669): the memory of Venetian Candia, after extensive urban demolitions and reconstructions, survives in its road network, place names, and archaeological remains. Some maps and cadastral sources of the early modern period highlight known and less-known elements of its lost urban landscape.

due to the fragmentary nature of the sources. An inventory of surviving
buildings, however, allowed to make a first study of typologies and distribution
of the towers on the island. The survey of a case study showed these towers
were built for military purposes, but then the residential function (clearly
in view placed at the top level) took over. Fortified houses, and towers in
particular, were part of a system of power for land control and participated in
the construction of natural and anthropic landscape.

Iconography from the 18th to the 20th century, also in written production (travel narratives, tourist guides, magazines), illustrates the search for medieval souvenirs in the Islamic decadent town (18th-19th c.) and the shifting of symbolic-geographic idea of city, linked to a new attitude towards historical heritage and to the creation of a new urban center (20th c.). This communication aims to trace the changing role of medieval town in Turkish and Italian ideology and urban practices. Particular attention will be given to the iconographic source, especially photography, as a useful tool for documenting the 19th-century Ottoman Rhodes as a travel destination, then replaced by the Italian city intended to be the “Eastern rampart” of the rising empire.

The historical construction of the Mediterranean habitat is a highly debated subject and a very diversified historiography has been dealing with it. This article will focus on rural houses and habitat on the island of Crete during the late Venetian period (16th-17th century). It intends to propose a first reflection on the material and documentary traces of villages and houses, which indicate the ways of “building” the rural landscape according to precise objectives and needs. The house is a main built element of agro-pastoral lands: its architectural and building features, as well as the story of its owners and tenants in the economy of the village, must be explored to better understand the permanencies and transformations of settlement strategies on the main Venice maritime colony.
les Chevaliers Hospitaliers ont superposé une forteresse-monastère
à la ville byzantine. La conquête ottomane a entraîné ensuite
dans la ville un processus d’islamisation qui s’est traduit par une
large réutilisation du bâti existant. Les modalités de ces opérations
demeurent peu connues. Cet ouvrage propose un voyage dans
l’histoire de Rhodes entre le Moyen Âge et le début de l’époque
moderne, afin de retracer les phases de son accroissement urbain et
les interactions entre l’architecture religieuse et la forma urbis. Cette
étude s’appuie sur les outils de l’analyse spatiale et morphologique,
qui a une partie importante dans les études d’archéologie urbaine,
ainsi que sur un corpus de sources variées : les manuscrits des
Hospitaliers, les récits de voyage, l’iconographie et les données
archéologiques connues. Une partie de l’ouvrage est consacrée
enfin au recensement et à une analyse comparative des églises et
des mosquées urbaines : bien que souvent limitée à une dimension
régionale, la production architecturale et artistique à Rhodes est
étroitement liée à des réalisations plus prestigieuses d’inspiration
byzantine et gothique, ainsi que du monde ottoman. Dans un
contexte actuel où l’urbanisation contemporaine côtoie tant le
patrimoine bâti le plus connu que les vestiges archéologiques
mineurs, Rhodes s’avère être un véritable « laboratoire urbain » dont
l’histoire demeure un champ en construction.
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.
