Rebuilding works of several rural buildings after the earthquake in the Municipality of ModenaSeismic improvement and rebuilding works of many rural buildings damaged after the earthquake occurred in May 2012 in the plain around Modena are about to be concluded. The principles that inspired our intervention works aim at conserving environment and reproposing volumetric and technological solutions resulting from a local tradition of skilful building firms. The respect for the environment and the importance of the historical memory, which are very deep-rooted in the DNA of the local farmers, have become like "rules of intervention" followed by designers, project managers and firms. We are sure that the rebuilding works are about to come to a conclusion, thanks to the local companies that restarted producing and selling high quality fruit and vegetables worldwide.
