  In this episode we invite you to explore very particular small town in the mountains in Italy - Bisaccia Nuova (Avellino) which was built after the earthquake of 1980 near the old city of Bisaccia. The new part was designed as post-industrial "next future city", the concrete utopian town of the 20th century . The remarkable italian architect Aldo Loris Rossi designed both the masterplan of the town and the main public buildings such as the Church of the Sacred Heart, a kindergarten, schools, a market, a multi-purpose building.
