RECONSTRUCTION STRATEGY
For the reconstruction strategy of the town of Arquata del Tronto, the study and application of resilience as a conceptual theme gains relevance. People has the necessity of having places not only functional but also instructive, they look for environments that are a representation of their social aspirations, customs and community values. Resilience means the overall goal of decreasing human vulnerability, in other words, resilience consists in the ability of remaining in existence, to sustain a period of hardship or difficulty and the capacity to recover from unavoidable consequences of disasters. When the urban space of a town is strike by a natural disaster as an earthquake, not only the authenticity of the architectural substance but the restitution of a cultural identity of an urban space could be justified by the need to unite a broken society.

ROCCA MEDIEVALE ARQUATA DEL TRONTO
Urban heritage conservation and recreation as resilience strategies can contribute giving traumatized societies a sense of continuity and localness. Previous studies of affected cities that develop narratives of resilience towards their renovation, reveal that the pragmatic process of urban recovery is always fuelled by highly symbolic actions. With this theoretical base, a strategy of urban reconstruction is proposed for Arquata, stablishing main themes and a timeline for its application.
