Tra capitale umano e urbano. Il doppio registro della cura nel programma di valorizzazione della Casa del Mutilato di Ancona

This paper deals with the way theme of care was approached in the enhancement plan of the Casa del Mutilato in Ancona. It traces back the history and events surrounding this example of rationalist architecture and highlights the importance of care and its twofold meaning: on the one hand the care of the building human capital – from its original function as a shelter for disabled war veterans to its future use as a public health center –, on the other hand the care of the urban and architectural capital, analyzing the 1920s city renewal and hygiene plan and the current challenges of redeveloping such a strategic urban hub while preserving its 20th-century architecture.
