Scope and Content

This project series documents the Parque Urbano in Salemi, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 41/80. The office assigned the date 1986 to this project.

The project files document a competition for the Salemi urban park. The park was supposed to create a link between the oldest and newest parts of town. The park included two entrances, a new water line, a fence, a path that embraces the topography of the site, a path that links the new town and the Cappuccini Convent, a belvedere and a water pathway. It also contained a terrace with a theater, bar and skating ring. The project was not realized.
