Description

Starting with early settlements in the area of the Aterno Valley, the phenomenon of encastellation led, in Norman times, to the birth of a rare example of a planned community, born that is from a premeditated economic and urban plan, and one of the few centres to have adopted the municipal model in 11th-century southern Italy. The centuries that followed brought with them the splendour of the Renaissance, Spanish domination, the break imposed by the 1703 earthquake and the laborious restoration that led L’Aquila to become the second-biggest town in the Kingdom of Naples, right up until it lost its strategic role in the second half of the 19th century, when it was isolated by new forms of communication and exchange. The devastating earthquake of 2009 shook up its urban and social layout with plans for the reconstruction and rethinking of the town as a whole.
