This paper illustrates the urban valorisation project for Piazza Garibaldi, located in the ancient heart of the village of Monticiano, within the Sienese territory of Tuscany. Assuming the historical memory of the site as a guiding principle, the research aims to functionalise the public space, which is currently downgraded to a parking area. Through the retrieval of archival sources and data from the 1821 Leopoldine Land Registry, the project seeks to evoke the volumes of the Palazzo Pretorio and the fortified walls, both lost during the Second World War. The intervention strategy involves relocating the parking spaces from the square to the street below, thus freeing up a space that is reconfigured by integrating the surviving masonry and retracing the geometry of the ancient fortifications.
