Archeologia, storia e natura: il Borghetto Flaminio. Archeology,history and nature: Borghetto Flaminio

Archeology,history and nature: Borghetto Flaminio There are many places that offer beautiful and unique landscapes, of unequivocal historical importance and with a one of a kind artistic interest. All possess special characteristics that must be maintained for all future generations. However, these three components rarely coexist in one single place or they would consequently assume a unique value and would become very difficult to understand in view of the overlapping of the multiple systems involved. One of the sites with such characteristics is the subject of an articulated research and of this article: the Flaminio Village. Introduction Archeology of knowledge is made up of small inconspicuous truths that are detected with a strict method. Nietzche wrote that "we transformed knowledge into a passion that does not fear sacrifice and, in a final analysis, this knowledge is only afraid of extinguishing itself. The only real fear of those who acquire perfect knowledge is to see it all disappear." The strategy chosen to document the transformations and permanence of the signs that characterize the area under study was long and complex. A series of questions were raised several times during the research. These questions vanished as soon as we assumed that the "history" had to be understood as a production of meanings based on the traces of events, such as the analytical and indefinite construction of history. This would become a tool used to break down well-established certainties and an "element" that must be preserved in its entirety and overcome at the same time. Overcoming, the liberation of the tentacles of history, is the only way out of the "maze" where we can get lost at the end of a proper search, as stated by Tafuri. That's the risk we face every time we are involved in a methodological research of the nature and history of a place.
