Tripoli Medina Mediterranea - Tripoli: a Mediterranean Medina

Tripoli Medina Mediterranea - Tripoli: a Mediterranean Medina The book speaks about the Mediterranean city, about the composite urban structure of Tripoli. It recounts the conditions of fragility common to so many other cities of the Mediterranean. It speaks of strategies of survival implemented to deal with these conditions. It speaks of contaminations, so evident in the urban history of this Libyan city: contaminations between conflicting languages, styles and social groups. More than many other cities, Tripoli was a hub of trade, of mixtures and the ‘unusual openness of homes with balconies and windows’ reveals to the extent of the transgressions to the Arabic-Islamist code, even considering the reciprocal ‘agreement’ of cooperation.
