Some thing that I of interest after discussing the silos with both locals and professors is the cutting through the concrete which is confirmed to be 15.24cm thick with re-bar reinforcing. Two ideas that have been recently discussed is actually using the inside for housing versus using the silo solely for its structural support as a column and building on the outside or around it. In the area surrounding Castellammare i have found other silo sites: some also closed down and some active. I have documented them each with the history told to me by the locals and the dimensional information as well. Below is a picture of the steel tubing used to pour the grain out of the silo and channel to the truck below for distribution throughout the regions of Italy.
