All action camp organizations in the region and beyond had responded to the call of the Zambian host to make it a big success. Among participants from Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe were two young Malawian volunteers, a woman and a man. Supported and funded by their organization back home, they were there as part of an exchange based on the founding IVS principle of reciprocity, later that summer hosting two volunteers from Zambia at the natural World Heritage Site of Lake Malawi. When I took the picture − CCIVS had just bought its first digital camera − they had arrived after two days of travelling by bus from Blantyre, but their faces showed no sign of tiredness. Standing in front of the falls, where they would work for two weeks to secure the paths and sensitize locals and tourists about the preservation of World Heritage, the young volunteer just opened his arms wide and said ‘I am Patrimonito’. As one of the thousands of World Heritage Volunteers who have taken part in the Initiative since that day, I believe his incredible energy and commitment represent the values and actions that young guardians have implemented abroad and in their own countries every year, to protect our common heritage beyond territories and boundaries.

    PORTOVENERE ITALY he ancient town of Portovenere looks T as if a brilliant impressionist painting has come to life. This romantic sentiment may not have been shared by those defending or assaulting the town over the past 1,000 years. However, today it can be said with relative cer- tainty that there is little chance of an attack by the Republic of Pisa, Saracen pirates, barbaric hordes or French Emperors. In other words, relax, have fun and enjoy your day in lovely, peaceful Portovenere. HISTORY With a population a little over 4,000, Portovenere is a small, Portovenere was founded by the Romans in the 1st century medieval town. It was built and defended by the Republic of Ge- BC. Known as Portus Veneris, it was built upon a promon- noa for nearly 800 years. This hilly point of land stretches north tory which juts out into the sea.

  • Cinque Terre and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto)
    IAEG Commission 16 – UNESCO World Heritage Italy Porto Venere, Cinque Terre and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto) Historical background - Engineering geological conditions and problems: The Ligurian coast between Cinque Terre and Porto Venere is a landscape of high scenic and cultural value. The form and the disposition of villages and the surrounding landscape, overcoming the disadvantages of a steep and broken terrain, encapsulate the continuous history of human settlement in this region over the past millennium. Since all the Cinque Terre hamlets are built on promontories overlooking the sea, the main geological Manarola (www.baranin.com) problems concern coastal dynamics and landslides. The action of the sea on the rock cliffs (sandstones, limestones and slates) together with structural discontinuities and position of the substratum provoke the disintegration of brittle rocks. Landslides are a consequence of both cliff undercutting by wave action (especially falls and overtoppings) and terrace cultivation (mainly slides). In this last case, mass movements occur as a Porto Venere and the islands of Palmaria, consequence of lands neglect. Tino and Tinetto (www.portovenere.it) Investigations and protection measures already realized: The ENEA Group realized investigations on coastal dynamics in the Porto Venere area including: • Historical information; • Geological and structural aspects of the area; • Type of upheaval; • Predisposing and triggering factors; • Analysis of rock stability; • Strategy of phenomena mitigation with

    AETAS VIAGGI – TEL. + 39 06 71 58 40 64 – [email protected] – www.aetasviaggi.com GENOA AND THE CINQUE TERRE The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia, and comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. The Cinque Terre area is a very popular tourist destination. Day 1: Arrival in Genoa. Guided tour of the historical center: the Romanesque-Gothic Church of S. Lorenzo, with its beautiful interior frescoes and the famous chapel of the Baptist, Piazza De Ferrari with the Opera House and the Academy of Fine Arts, the Church of Jesus, a fine example of Baroque, including works by Rubens and Guido Reni, the Ducal Palace, seat of the city government, now used as a major art exhibitions. A short climb leads to the Medieval Gates and the House of Columbus. A few steps away we find the noble Piazza S. Matteo with palaces now included in the lists of the UNESCO heritage of humanity. Continue to Piazza Campetto and Via degli Orefici, full of old shops and bakeries, to reach Piazza Banchi, dominated by the characteristic Church of S.

This international treaty established a unique interna- tional instrument for recognizing and protecting both the cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value.
