The design of open spaces remains a crucial theme in the reflection on landscape architecture. The debate promoted in Italy since the 1960s about the «form of the territory» has contributed to developing ideas and concepts that have significantly influenced architectural culture. Less known is the trajectory of design experiments that, during the same period, sought to reveal an «Italian way to landscape». This is the case of Ca’ della Vigna, an unfinished work by Vittoriano Viganò in the Oltrepò Pavese, whose troubled history allows for critical observation of the transformations that occurred in Italian territories that were neither attracted to metropolitan areas nor confined to internal ones.

Keywords: open spaces; Vittoriano Viganò; intermediate Italy
