Aldo Rossi says that a city is a collective memory of its people, and like memory it is associated with objects and places. The city is locus of collective memory. For Rossi essential is the meaning of time continuity. “Memory is what resists time”.
“Through senses memory is created, and through memory comes experience”. According to Aristotle's view, memory is nothing but the process of revocation of the past, using as a medium the senses. It is recorded, as the ability of empirical perception through the senses of a stimulus. More broadly, one could argue, that memory is the experiential relationship of a person with his environment.
