This paper summarizes the results of research focused on the production and use of bricks along the Adriatic coast; bricks have characterized the traditional construction of these areas for centuries, both in historic centers and rural buildings. The use of bricks slowly defined the shape and identity of the built landscape until the 20th century, but the appearance of hilltop urban centers, the countryside, and coastal settlements has been severely contaminated or completely altered by more recent real estate speculation. Even the image that Città Sant’Angelo has preserved despite the dismantling of its city walls is now threatened by the fate of Palazzo Coppa, which awaits a solution consistent with its historical and testimonial importance.
