To date it has been the most successful reconstruction in modern Italy’s history because all the professionals (architects, engineers, government agencies, municipalities etc…) came together and formed a strategy to rebuild that became a \"portable\" methodology, essentially the argument Piano makes for G124.  They followed the successful example of the reconstruction of Scopia in the former Yugoslavia.  There was zero graft and a huge level of respect for human settlement.  Their motto was \"as it was, where it was\" not intending some post modern image of a past but the real relationship of the people to their territory and their culture.  The result is that not only were major national monuments rebuilt, but an anti-seismic “catalogue” of technical and logistical strategies was developed (not unlike that mentioned by Piano), inter-community agencies were established to coordinate needs and services between communities along common infrastructure.  Ultimately a region that had been forgotten and whose economy was medieval is a thriving nexus between Austria and Venice and continues to fold the memory of the earthquake into the cultural fabric of the collective conscience.  \n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"action-links\">\n		<a href=\"#comment_form\">Post Comment<\/a>\n		<a class=\"modalInput\" rel=\"#report-abusive-comment-form\" href=\"#id=203\">Report Abusive Comment<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n');
