European cities, especially Italian ones, show the signs of a centuries-old heritage stratification that goes beyond the boundaries of industrial revolutions. Productive vocations preserved over centuries or millennia, the prolonged exploitation of natural resources, the incredible longevity of infrastructures or hydraulic works supporting production - first artisan and then industrial -organized - are widespread features of our territory that place the Industrial Heritage at the center of the interest of the histories - economic, construction, architecture, city - and government, planning, project, and entrepreneurial initiatives.

In AIPAI Photo Context, we propose a photographic contest with the aim of raising awareness and promoting the culture of industry, the memory of work, the architectural, technological and landscape heritage of industrial archeology
