On the occasion of the 73rd birthday of Antonio L. Verri, Municipality of

project "TAO-CTICAL URBANISM - Contest of creative tactical
urbanism".
The initiative is a part of a multi-sectoral program coordinated by the
City of Caprarica di Lecce “The City of the Poet”.
ANTONIO L.VERRI
Antonio L. Verri was born in Caprarica di Lecce (Apulia, Italy) in 1949
and tragically died in 1993.
He was a cultural operator at local and international level,
multidimensional artist, journalist, writer, looking for the connection
between the cultural heritage, the roots and the future of his land.

TAO
The contest takes its name from "i tao", elusive entities that permeate
the rural culture of Salento. Antonio L. Verri was trying to open his
little big universe of southern Italy to the world.
"It will change, it will change a lot the face of
the countryside, of human aggregates, of entire
countries (...) And of course habits, ways of
working, relationships will also change..., well,
what will never change will be the idea of
dialogue with the land that human has
established since the time of the times, the big
breath, the long hiss that can be heard only in
the morning, aiming in the vastness of the
fields, with the silver trees next to silent
sentinels..."
( La Cultura Contadina - Antonio L.Verri)
Inspired by Verri, who artistically expressed the culture of his roots in
the work "La Cultura dei Tao", we launch a creative and cross-
disciplinary challenge: a contest of creative tactical urbanism.
A project that illustrates the spirit of Verri, looking to the roots to
build the future. An original and creative idea, that speaks the
language of the modern perspective of making urban planning for the
physical and mental well-being of those who live those spaces daily,
in the reality of the city.
A Tao-ctical project: looking at the past to enrich the future.

TACTICAL
URBANISM
Tactical urbanism was born in response to the irreversible
transformation of human beings into urban species. Cities are the
factor that most significantly determines the quality of life and they
urgently need to be re-generated and re-thought outside the schemes
of traditional urbanism.
Tactical Urbanism
Tactical urbanism reverses the process: the
starting point is citizens. Public space become
a physical place for collective use defined by
the relationships between individuals, social
groups and urban space. Multi-functionality,
liveability, flexibility, modularity and design are
the key words of this innovative approach.
Following the principles of tactical urbanism
and the theme of tao, the participants are
invited to present tactical urbanism projects of
great communicative value, aimed at improving
the public spaces of the community of
Caprarica di Lecce (South Italy) or creating new
ones.

5 STEPS FOR YOUR
TAO-CTICAL IDEA
CHOOSE THE SPACE - Each corner of the city, even the most
hidden one, is an opportunity for your tao-ctical idea. Identify
a public space that has caught your attention. What is the

your tao-ctical idea. Who are the users of your tao-ctical

design for Caprarica di Lecce.

"Saranno forse cambiati i termini di
confronto, saranno cambiati quelli che
chiamiamo valori, il vivere, i rapporti col
resto dell’Impero Culturale, ma ci sentiamo
di dire che oggi il Sud non si prende per
amore, o non si prende solo per amore.
Oggi il Sud si prende (o almeno così lo
prende chi opera a tempo pieno, non
domenicalmente dico) anche o soprattutto
per irruenza, per distacco, per ironia, per
maturazione avvenuta, di solito, a contatto
con tantissime, tante esperienze".
