Fortress of Solitude (Bellinzona)


Title:
Fortress of Solitude (Bellinzona)

Description:
Well, Bellinzona has its own stronghold, in the rocky heart of the city, surrounded by the river Ticino, but it's not a bank. In 1981 the architect Aurelio Galfetti started the work of repairing and remodeling the fortress. But it was more than a simple restoration, it was a monumental project of transformation, redevelopment and regeneration of the whole hill, converted for the occasion to a huge urban park called the "Collina del Sasso". Though it's been named a UNESCO World Hertitage Site, some critics have called the project a "severe, unsentimental" renovation, as it fit Galfetti's ideas about the radical modernization of Italy.
