Hostilia is a project that aims to tell the story of how the social, environmental, urban, and landscape fabric of a small town changes when a strategic facility such as a power plant is built there. Specifically, it focuses on the thermoelectric power plant in Ostiglia. The 1960s were a period of great development for Italy, which brought about the need to enhance power plants for electricity production across the country. The Ostiglia power plant, initially owned by Enel and now managed by Ep Produzione, was established during this time in a predominantly agricultural area where the only industrial presence was a sugar factory. The lives of the residents were completely transformed in terms of employment, demographics (the population changed as new workers and specialized technicians arrived from other parts of Italy to work at the plant), and urban development (new housing, commercial, and recreational facilities were created). Over the years, and through various changes in management, there has been a gradual decline in the town's prosperity and quality of life. Automated processes replaced specialized workers, and young people slowly left Ostiglia, seeking better opportunities elsewhere. Today, amid the crisis in the manufacturing sector, we are witnessing the drama of large industrial groups gradually downsizing peripheral production centers, leaving fragile economic fabrics even more vulnerable. With Hostilia, I wanted to capture what this trajectory has left behind in the area, starting from the interior of the power plant, moving through the homes of former employees, and exploring local places and landscapes. My focus is on the present because the future of Ostiglia already includes an expansion of the power plant currently under construction. However, I will leave tomorrow to those who are willing to tell its story. My work is to ensure that no trace is lost of what has been and what currently is, in order to ask questions and lay the groundwork for what could be and what might come to be.
