Il contributo propone un percorso analitico che, indagando l’agricoltura come fatto territoriale, mira a esplorare i mutamenti dei rapporti tra settore primario e fenomeno urbano nella seconda metà del Novecento. Attraverso l’analisi dell’area metropolitana romana, il contributo restituisce quadri territoriali molteplici della dialettica tra la città e il suo intorno. Se l’Agro Romano è storicamente caratterizzato da una marcata omogeneità produttiva, la sua disarticolazione connessa alla crescita urbana degli ultimi anni ha seguito traiettorie eterogenee. Roma divenuta metropoli agricola prima di farsi città, ha concorso alla costruzione di molteplici paesaggi produttivi dove a prevalere sono, da una parte, i processi di territorializzazione segnati da una progressiva disarticolazione dell’agricoltura e, dall’altra, l’affermazione di nuove ruralità e rapporti dialettici con la città. In entrambe le traiettorie vanno definendosi condizioni caratterizzate da esiti spaziali e relazionali come da strutture sociali e produttive il cui ruolo nella dimensione urbana resta da approfondire.

Abstract
The essay focuses the changes of the relationship between agriculture and the urban phenomenon in the second half of the twentieth century, by investigating agriculture as a territorial fact. The analysis of the Roman metropolitan area shows territorial figures of the links between the city and its surroundings. If the Roman Agro is historically characterized by a marked homogeneity of shapes and roles, its disarticulation connected to growth in recent years has followed heterogeneous trajectories. Rome became an agricultural metropolis without become a city, contributing to a number productive landscapes where prevail processes of territorialisation, that are marked by a growing disarticulation of agriculture and by new shapes of rural areas, both established by the city itself. In both trajectories are defined conditions characterized by spatial and relational outcomes as from social and productive structures whose roles in the urban dimension need to be explored.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
