摘要：Sadly, unfinished and abandoned public works represent a peculiarity of the Italian context. They characterize the landscape as an evidence of the predatory culture towards the State, which never seems to be extinct. Even if the theme is not new – widely known by the institutions at all levels, from central state to local authorities – it was never put at the center of attention and specific actions. The numbers of the phenomenon are staggering, counting today about 1,500 unfinished public works spread on the national territory, with a concentration in southern Italy, particularly in Sicily. The publication “Incompiuto: The birth of a style” – published by Alterazioni Video and Fosbury Architecture, two collectives of artists and architects with Italian origin and international branches in Europe and USA – originated precisely in this Region. In 2009, “Incompiuto Siciliano” was founded as a participatory Observatory on unfinished public works, animated by reports from citizens and local press, with the support of Lega Ambiente, WWF, ANCE and other organizations. In few years, Incompiuto Siciliano identified 320 abandoned works. This initiative was supported by the section “Sprechi e Incompiuti” of the TV program “Striscia la notizia”, with more than 600 dedicated services. In 2013, the observatory gave rise to the regional Information System for Monitoring Unfinished Works - SIMBI, supported by the autonomous Provinces and the Ministry of Infrastructures - MIT. In about ten years, the curators have built an unprecedented analytical and critical map of the “unfinished” phenomenon, selecting 696 irrecoverable works, catalogued according to their locations at national and regional scale, their year and the percentage of construction, their type, size and costs.
