Abstract

Palermo sta sul mare, ma ha un rapporto difficile con il mare. La questione sorge, nel XVII secolo, al momento della costruzione dei Quattro Canti di Città o piazza Vigliena, quando l’asse di fondazione fenicio (il Cassaro, con giacitura EO) venne intersecato da una strada ortogonale (via Maqueda, con giacitura NS) capace di cancellare - con la formazione di un centro - la relazione che si era istituita, nel tempo, tra monti e mare attraverso la città. Da quel momento in poi l’espansione, all’interno della Conca d’oro, avvenne prevalentemente verso Nord, allontanando la città sempre di più dalla linea di costa a causa, anche, di Monte Pellegrino e di Pizzo Sella, due promontori abbandonati sul mare dal sistema collinare circostante. L’altimetria del suolo e i profili collinari sono stati determinanti nella definizione della forma urbana, altrettanto quanto i numerosi corsi d’acqua che ne hanno inciso il piano di posa, i quali ultimi - pur non essendo tutti visibili - hanno lasciato segni consistenti nel tessuto e su interi gruppi di edifici e sui tracciati stradali, in ragione delle singolarità orografiche dei greti e delle opere di protezione al suolo.

Palermo has a difficult relationship with the sea. The question arises, in the 17th century, at the time of the construction of the Quattro Canti di Città or piazza Vigliena, when the Phoenician foundation axis (the Cassaro, with EO position) was intersected by an orthogonal road (via Maqueda, with NS position) capable of canceling - with the formation of a center - the relationship that had been established, over time, between mountains and sea through the city. From that moment on, the expansion, inside the Conca d'oro, took place mainly towards the north, moving the city further and further away from the coast line, due also to Monte Pellegrino and Pizzo Sella, two abandoned promontories on the sea from the surrounding hill system. The elevation of the ground and the hilly profiles were decisive in defining the urban form, just as much as the numerous waterways that have affected the laying surface, which - although not all of them visible - have left consistent marks in the fabric and on entire groups of buildings and on road layouts, due to the orographic singularities of the shores and the ground protection works.
