Real Sito di Carditello | CAMPANIA
Origins, history and context
Il Real Site of Carditello, detto anche Reale tenuta di Carditello o Reggia di Carditello, venne creato nel 1744 per volere di Carlo di Borbone, che vi aveva impiantato un allevamento di cavalli.
It was further developed under Ferdinando IV, who, within the framework of his Enlightenment social and economic reform projects, added to the site a farm for wheat cultivation, cheese production and rearing of thoroughbred horses and cattle, provided with stables and farmers’ houses.
Per la progettazione del grande complesso nel 1787 venne incaricato un collaboratore di Luigi Vanvitelli, l’architetto Francesco Collecini, che realizzò questa importante opera di architettura neoclassica, costituita da una residenza reale e da ambienti destinati ad azienda agricola.
The solution adopted for the complex was that of a symmetrical double-T shape centred in the royal residence, crowned by a balustrade and a belvedere, from which the long, low wings of farming spaces depart. These spaces encompass eight tower buildings and twelve warehouses with a built area of about thirteen thousand square meters.
The area in front of the complex is a dirt track for horses, whose shape recalls Roman circuses, embellished with fountains, obelisks and a circular classical temple.
Inside the residence, two staircases branch off to the right and left sides, leading to the noble floor, decorated with works referring to hunting, a passion of the Bourbons.
From the state of abandon to the restoration
After years of neglect and decay, the establishment of the “Real Sito di Carditello Foundation” set the starting point of the renovation of this extraordinary monument, which became part of the Cultural District of the Royal Sites and Bourbon Residences of Naples, which is planning actions towards its conservation, protection, and valorisation.
In questo quadro di forti prospettive per un rinnovamento integrato dell’area delle residenze borboniche, si colloca il progetto IDEHA, che ha scelto il sito come caso dimostratore.
Verranno sviluppate attività di ricerca e di programmazione operativa mediante l’impiego di metodologie e tecnologie innovative per la documentazione, conservazione, manutenzione programmata e valorizzazione del sito.
As one of the Italian Cultural Sites, the Real Sito di Carditello experiences conservation and sustainable management issues by no means negligible. The HBIM model appears to be the most promising support for managing the information on the building that gradually accumulates over time and for interactively connecting all data to a digital twin of the building, representative of its spatial, construction and material characteristics and of its state of conservation.
Much of this data and information are not directly compatible with the BIM standard; therefore, the project is developing specific management tools that will enable users of the proposed platform to retrieve information on building elements and spaces and to monitor the system of sensors installed in the building.
