and cultural functions. A mapping of the interventions of functional updating of the
courts has been conducted, with the identification of disused buildings for the proposal of regeneration projects, realizable also in different steps in accordance with
the financing opportunities and the interest of investors, fostering a true flexibility
for these transformations. The synthetic framework of these interventions depicts the
master plan of the project. The second step of analysis concerned the development
of guidelines for landscape redevelopment, accessibility and usability, the diversification of the tourism offer and energy requalification. Finally, the third level has
developed two pilot projects for the enhancement of the Corte San Giovanni Bono,
now fallen into disuse, under the “Gate of Mantua” project, with the realization of an
agri-camping and tourist accommodation services. Furthermore, the enhancement
of the area made up of Corte Canfurlone and Corte Ca’ Bianca, under the “Gate
of the environmental system” project, with accommodation and restaurant activities
integrated with collective services, such as an agri-nursery school, museum spaces
and a centre for environmental education managed by Bosco Fontana and Parco del
Mincio, as well as a bike-sharing station with a cycle workshop under the Roundabike
association management.
For the Fondazione Bonoris and the Parco del Mincio, the project constitutes a
replicable model of intervention in other rural contexts within the Park, thus proposing itself as a good project practice for the peri-urban landscape, triggering economic
regeneration processes and promoting greater social cohesion.

Rural Heritage of the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan
The strategic plan FILARETEAM (For Innovation of Landscape and Agriculture:
Renewable Energy, Territorial Economy and Amelioration Management) was developed in the Milan metropolitan peri-urban context, in collaboration with the Fondazione IRCCS Ca’ Granda and the Fondazione Sviluppo Ca’ Granda, respectively,
as owner and as manager of the rural assets of the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan.

The overall rural heritage consists of about 200 agricultural farmsteads (8500 ha)
concentrated for the 60% in the metropolitan area of Milan. As for the Corti Bonoris,
in this case, we are also facing a vast rural heritage, of great historical and cultural
importance and with undivided property. Cross-checking the internal policies of the
Fondazione Sviluppo Ca’ Granda and those of municipal and metropolitan programming, the strategic plan has identified four macro-areas of action, on which to conduct
