Trasacco

Historical, political or economic context in which the plan/project is proposed

Trasacco is the third settlement of the land reclamation scheme for the Fucino area after Borgo 8000 and Caruscino. Designed by Engineer Marcello Vittorini, the settlement is the extension of the historic village of Trasacco originally located on the shore of the lake Fucino. Actually, conceived as an independent settlement for peasants involved in land cultivation, Trasacco is a rare example of a new town stemming from a pre-existing fabric.
