Che fine ha fatto Città della Scienza. Un giallo napoletano o una metafora del Mezzogiorno?
‘Che fine ha fatto Città della Scienza?’ is not a question but an incentive to understand, to talk about Città della Scienza, a place and village of innovation, a science dissemination center and museum but also a ‘factory’ of many successful start-ups, located in the much ‘unfortunate’ area of Bagnoli-Coroglio but still exciting for its strategic position and scenic beauty. The urban, social and economic regeneration of that area had to start from here and instead the trajectory of Città della Scienza, starting from the terrible fire of 2013, and up to the conflict of 2017, which took place inside a structure considered flower not only the flagship of the South, slowly seems to take a downward spiral.
