Riemergere reconstructs the forgotten history of the Rogge di Trento, a grid of canals that crossed the city from the 12th to the 19th century, pursuing two goals: restoring scientific dignity to a silent heritage and rebuilding the city’s bond with its lost water systems. Adopting a methodology of urban dowsing, the research cross-references archival sources, photographic surveys, and oral testimonies across four historic cartographies. It examines the four main Rogge of the town, cataloguing pre-industrial activities and unnamed minor canals. Three design strategies are proposed: the physical de-culverting of the Roggia di San Marco, Urban Gramophones evoking the underground flow, and territorial itineraries educating citizens on the transition between the visible and the silent.
