I boschi italiani hanno caratteristiche uniche al mondo, affascinanti da conoscere. A differenza del resto d'Europa, gran parte della loro biodiversità è legata alla secolare influenza di attività come il pascolo, la produzione di legname, di legna da fuoco, di carbone o di alimenti. La lunga coevoluzione tra uomo e natura ha creato un binomio inscindibile. Le abetine delle Alpi, le faggete appenniniche, i querceti dell...

Agriculture is often considered as one of the main threats to ecosystems. Unsustainable farming practices often result in habitat loss, inefficient use of water, soil degradation, pollution, genetic erosion, among other negative impacts on human life, including hunger, low food quality, reduced access to food resources, as well as the abandonment of rural areas. Nevertheless, when agriculture is practiced in a sustainable way, it can contribut...

Il paesaggio rurale è uno degli elementi meno conosciuti del patrimonio culturale italiano, di cui viene spesso ignorata la dimensione storica a favore dei suoi caratteri ambientali, delle componenti insediative o architettoniche, e raramente il tema viene affrontato nell'analisi delle rappresentazioni pittoriche. Sebbene la "Cavalcata dei Magi" non sembri riprodurre un luogo definito del territorio toscano, ma piuttosto un luogo di fantasia, ...

Faggi, castagni, querce, larici, abeti... Oltre il 35% della penisola è coperto da boschi, un paesaggio che spesso percepiamo come primigenio e 'naturale'. In realtà, come il resto del nostro paesaggio, i boschi sono un prodotto della storia, sempre legata all'opera dell'uomo che ne ha modificato tutte le caratteristiche. Nell'antichità il bosco è già largamente utilizzato, tanto che le foreste naturali nel primo secolo d.C. sono meno di una d...

Over the last few decades, sustainable development and rural development policies have pursued strategies where farming has often been regarded as a factor disturbing or deteriorating the ecosystem. But the current economic, social and environmental problems of the Earth probably call for a different perspective. We should look for examples of a positive integration between human society and nature, study them, and apply the lesson learnt. Thi...

This book is an introductory instrument to the main themes of environmental history, illustrating its development over time, methodological implications, results achieved and those still under discussion. But the overriding aspiration is to show that the doubts, methods and knowledge elaborated by environmental history have a heuristic value that is far from negligible precisely in its attitude to the most consolidated major historiography.  F...

Landscape today is no longer just a cultural aspect, intended as an elitist phenomenon, but emerges as an essential element in the definition and the application of a modern approach in sustainable development. Historical locally adapted distinctive and ingenious combinations of management practices have contributed and continue to contribute tremendously to the biodiversity of the world, resulting not only in outstanding aesthetic beauty, but...
