Requalification of Piazza Libertà and of the historical center in Lissone by Studio Moscatelli and Studio Arosio

The Requalification of Piazza Libertà and of the historical center is the result of a competition followed by a participatory process. The intervention aims to three goals: the development of attractivity for all the categories of users (from the children to the eldest), the increase of comfort (for a livable square in all the seasons of the year and in all the hours of the day), and the enhancement of memory, constituted by the existing (Casa del Fascio by Giuseppe Terragni, Villa Magatti and Villa Mussi), disappeared (as the Church of Saint Peter, demolished in 1933), and intangible heritage (as the wood-furniture-design system, that characterizes the city from the economic and cultural point of view). Piazza Libertà is subdivided in five places, crossed by the same five layers: furniture (the canopy and the fountain, the flower boxes and the seats), green, light, water (the points, the line, the surface), and signage (monumental, botanical, and historical).
