Institutional activities in 2004 Arts Exhibition in Genoa, reached the objective of transforming these sites into international centres of attraction. Practically on a par with cities such as Rome and Naples which, moreover, have hosted two of the most prestigious exhibitions of the year: “Canaletto, the Triumph of the Landscape” at Palazzo Giustiniani and “Caravaggio:The Final Years 1606 -1610” at the Capodimonte Museum. Training and research During the year, commitment continued both in favour of SiTI in its promotion of research on quality and development of the territorial systems as well as in support of research into history-art fields. The main action, however, was the trial of a new management system within the fields of interest, which in fact provoked the reflection that, as from 2005, specialist training and research on cultural heritage will be deferred to the operational authorities, each according to their own remits.

The initiative, aimed at public bodies, local authorities, religious organisations and non-profit organisations, dealt with projects for safeguarding, restoring and revitalising areas of landscape situated in historical-cultural and natural sites in the Piedmont Region. A the end of the selection, ten projects were awarded grants, among the 188 candidates submitted, for a total allocation of € 624,000; the initiatives relate to landscapes adjacent to architectural heritage sites subject to protection obligations, landscapes in national parks, protected areas and eco-museums. Through the call for proposal “PaeSaggio Piedmont 2004” it was also possible to perform an initial census of small and medium sized projects in existence on the Piedmont territory, in order to enhance the extraordinary concentration of variety of landscapes that characterise it.
Naples: Piazza Bellini The historic centre of Naples 44 Naples and Campania have in recent years been privileged areas for grants and attention from the Compagnia. It committed itself in 2004 to supporting the revitalisation project for Naples historic city centre and in particular the urban axis of Santa Caterina da Siena and Piazza Bellini with a grant of € 1 million. The whole project represents an excellent example of planning which combines the needs to safeguard the monuments with those of revitalisation, also on a social level, of the historic city centre. The two initiatives originate from co-operation with the City of Naples and seek to renew the urban fabric, highly precious but greatly dilapidated, through two characteristic elements of the city: archaeology and modern art. The architectural and artistic upgrading of the urban axis of Santa Caterina da Siena involves an area of approximately 7,000 square metres, which, set out in streets and squares, runs from Via Gradoni di Chiaia to Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Works are planned on highly prestigious buildings such as Chiesa della Pietà dei Turchini, Istituto Suor Orsola Benincasa and the Real Conservatory, starting from Largo Santa Caterina da Siena passing through Piazza Cariati and continuing along Via Chiaia. This itinerary will be revitalised with new lighting, pedestrian precincts, regulation of car parking, placement of works of modern art in the original architectural fabric. It deals, therefore, with an urban programme of works in line with the most modern principles of conservative restoration and integrated improvement of the monuments and surrounding spaces. The second grant involves another jewel of the historic centre of Naples: Piazza Bellini. The Piazza hosting the monument to the musician is situated in the heart of the city right next to the San Pietro a Maiella Conservatory of Music. In the central part, on a lower level than the street and surrounded by iron railings the archaeological excavations can be seen. These date from between the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. and represent the most evident testimony of the primitive Greco-Roman city of Neapolis. The general revitalisation project involves an area of 1,850 square metres, including works for the redefinition of the altimetry and for the production of a new road surface. Inside this in order to obtain a single sloping walking surface, inside which the original elements take shape again (the excavation, the monument, the central palm tree) also allowing an improved reading of the precious facades of the buildings facing onto the square and the optimisation of its public use. Part of the interventions of the excavations in order to enhance the archaeological features, presently not accessible and difficult to maintain. They also involve the restoration of the monument to Bellini, with restoration works and the insertion of copies of female statues which will return it to its original form as one of the most cherished symbols of Neapolitan tradition.
