The ancient province of Calabria Ulteriore, among the most under-developed of the Kingdom of Naples, was discovered in its natural, urban, architectonic and social importance only following the catastrophic earthquake of 5 February 1783. Through the chronicles of travellers and the studious you cross an epoch, and most of all a place, in which a state of emergency transformed the damaged areas into a territory of study and experimentation, where the key text of the planning experience will be The Instruction on the methods to follow in the ruined towns of Calabria in which the architect Vincenzo Ferraresi took possession of the enunciated embelissement theories in1753, by Marc-Antoine Laugier in the Essai sur l'architecture. Town planning, traced out by the royal architects, bear witness to the intention to apply a large-scale territorial intervention, which takes on particular meaning in the adoption of an unusual praxis both in Italy and abroad and which, despite the problematic results, will strongly condition the urban development of the Province. As the Post-unitary cadastral maps confirm.
