What does the future hold for Alpine villages? A roundtable discussion on restoring traditional architecture, exploring new ways of living, and caring for the landscape. <\/p>\n

On Saturday 24 October 2026, from 4:00 to 6:30 pm, Fondazione Canova ETS will host \u201cOssola Restoration Workshop \u2013 Experiences and Perspectives on Traditional Alpine Architecture\u201d at the Don Tullio Bertamini Auditorium, Istituto Rosmini, Via Rosmini 24, Domodossola.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the Interreg Italy\u2013Switzerland project BLITZART \u2013 SensibilizzArte, in which the Foundation is a partner, and offers an opportunity to discuss ways to preserve and breathe new life into the built heritage of the Alpine valleys.<\/p>\n

A Precious and Fragile Heritage<\/h2>\n

I piccoli centri storici e i villaggi tradizionali delle vallate alpine custodiscono un patrimonio architettonico tanto prezioso quanto fragile, espressione di un rapporto secolare tra comunit\u00e0, risorse locali e paesaggio. Un patrimonio oggi minacciato dallo spopolamento, dall\u2019abbandono degli edifici e dalla progressiva perdita di competenze costruttive tradizionali. <\/p>\n

The small historic settlements and traditional villages of the Alpine valleys preserve an architectural heritage that is as precious as it is fragile, reflecting a centuries-old relationship between communities, local resources and the landscape. Today, this heritage is threatened by depopulation, the abandonment of buildings and the gradual loss of traditional building skills. <\/p>\n

Strategies for the Conservation and Regeneration of Historic Alpine Settlements<\/h2>\n

The first part of the event will feature Lorenzo Jurina, Barbara Zanzi, Roland Fl\u00fcckiger-Seiler, Walter Hauser and Maurizio Cesprini.<\/p>\n

The discussion will explore conservation and reuse, the challenges of fragmented property ownership and the prospects for revitalising stone villages, broadening the focus from Ossola to other Alpine regions.<\/p>\n

The event is curated and moderated by architect Wolfgang Klebelsberg.<\/p>\n
