The Revival of Piazza Caricamento
Genoa has a history linked for being the capital of the blue economy in Italy as fisheries carried out their work from generation to generation. Industrialization has overshadowed the value and appearance, both socioeconomic and cultural, of local fisheries and their observers in the community. For this reason “The Revival of Piazza Caricamento” focuses on investigating fisheries through the “Third Place” concept as a co-design process, creating a fish market prototype intervention in Caricamento Piazza designed in collaboration with the community and fisheries members, which will improve the cultural value of fisheries and connect them with the community. The ocean race welcoming ceremony 2023 hosted in Genoa will be used as an opportunity to express the cultural value of fisheries.
