Le discoteche italiane attive tra gli anni Sessanta e Ottanta costituiscono un patrimonio a rischio, la cui memoria è oggi minacciata dalla chiusura dei locali e dalla dispersione della documentazione che li riguarda. La ricerca sostiene che questi spazi vadano riconosciuti come opere di interior design, condizione necessaria perché la loro memoria possa essere conservata e non semplicemente rievocata. A partire dall’analisi di venti casi studio compresi in questo arco temporale, ne ricostruisce le vicende progettuali e culturali. Su questa base la tesi propone Notti Italiane, un sistema di raccolta concepito per riunire le fonti oggi disperse e renderle consultabili tramite un archivio digitale. Il progetto rappresenta la risposta operativa al problema della memoria: uno strumento capace di documentare questi luoghi e di accoglierne nel tempo i materiali, prima che vadano perduti.

Abstract
The Italian discotheques active between the 1960s and the 1980s constitute a heritage at risk, whose memory is today threatened by the closure of the venues and the dispersal of the documentation concerning them. The research argues that these spaces should be recognised as works of interior design, a necessary condition for their memory to be preserved rather than merely evoked. Drawing on the analysis of twenty case studies falling within this period, it reconstructs their design and cultural history. On this basis the thesis proposes Notti Italiane, a collection system conceived to bring together sources that are currently scattered and to make them consultable through a digital archive. The project represents the operational response to the problem of memory: a tool able to document these places and to accommodate their materials over time, before they are lost.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
