More about the book

The book explores the historical dynamics of "trabocchi," traditional wooden fishing machines that have significantly influenced the coastal economies. It examines how these structures have evolved, highlighting their construction methods, material choices, assembly techniques, and adaptations over time. The study is grounded in comprehensive research conducted by the University of Florence's Department of Architecture, featuring detailed surveys and extensive documentation. This analysis reveals both the stability and transformative changes in the built environment related to coastal fishing practices.
