Abstract

This research analyses the capitalisation processes that affected two industrial plants with identical design characteristics: Manifatture Ceramiche Pozzi in Sparanise (CE, 1961) and Ferrandina (MT, 1965). Both plants, designed by Luigi Figini and Gino Pollini according to the same compositional principles, are a paradigmatic example of 20th-century industrial architecture in the context of the industrialisation policies of southern Italy. Decommissioned for different reasons by 1980, the plants now show similar processes of post-industrial transformation: partial demolition, new uses and selective heritage recognition. Through the analysis of data from the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno (Southern Italy Development Fund) and collaboration with municipal archives, CSAC in Parma and MART in Trento and Rovereto, the research aims to define evaluation methodologies for the capitalisation of modern industrial architecture, outlining new conservation strategies.
