“Costruire” il paesaggio industriale: l’eredità dell’impresa Sugliani & Tissoni nella Valle Bormida.

This paper explores the role of Sugliani&Tissoni Construction Company (Savona) between 1919 and 1961, focusing on its influence on the industrial landscape of the Bormida Valley. By analyzing company archive documents and literature on industrial heritage from Land-in-Pro research, the study examines the interplay between industrial development and landscape transformation. Key interventions include the enhancement of the Savona-San Giuseppe Coal Cable Cars, the construction of the Cokitalia S.A. plant, and the development of part of the Ferrania S.p.A. factory buildings, all of which significantly shaped the industrial landscape of the Valley. Though grounded in its local context, this case study contributes to understanding broader European processes of industrialization and deindustrialization that redefined relationships between production space, infrastructure, and social engineering between the 19th and 20th centuries. In this light, the paper highlights how the territorialization of industrial capital fostered new socio-economic and cultural contexts, which today are often considered peripheral forms of heritage.
