Tourism in Italy: Benefits, Responsabilities and Problems
Tourism in Italy: benefits, responsabilities and problems Italy is a diverse and intriguing country, which travellers and visitors from all over the world have always chosen to take part in a wonderful cultural experience. With more than 46.1 million tourists a year, Italy is the fifth most visited country in the world, after France (79.5 million), The United States (62.3 million), China (57.6) and Spain (56.7 million). People mainly visit Italy for its rich art, cuisine (the most famous Italian dishes are spaghetti and pizza, but every corner of this country has a traditional dish), history, fashion and culture, its beautiful landscapes which are amazing wherever you go, and its ancient monuments. Italy also has more World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world. For these reasons, tourism is one of Italy's fastest growing and most profitable industrial sectors. Tourism in Italy is not new: people have visited Italy for centuries: in the Middle Ages a lot of pilgrims from Northern Europe visited Rome; then, in the 18th century, it became the natural destination for young European aristocrats who wanted to complete their education with the so-called “Grand Tour”. It is the native land of the Roman Empire and has always attracted thousands of travellers from all over the world. Some of the most popular cities in Italy are: Rome, which is the country’s cultural and religious center with an average of 7-10 million tourists a year. The Colosseum and the Vatican Museums are the most visited places. Venice with its ancient palaces, art, world famous canals and handcraft because, on the nearby Island of Murano, you can find wonderful hand-blown glass.

The Forests of Tuscany (Italy) in the Last Century
Article Forest Surface Changes and Cultural Values: The Forests of Tuscany (Italy) in the Last Century Francesco Piras, Martina Venturi *, Federica Corrieri, Antonio Santoro and Mauro Agnoletti Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI), University of Florence, Via San Bonaventura 13, 50145 Florence, Italy; francesco.piras@unifi.it (F.P.); federica.corrieri@unifi.it (F.C.); antonio.santoro@unifi.it (A.S.); mauro.agnoletti@unifi.it (M.A.) * Correspondence: martina.venturi@unifi.it Abstract: Despite the definition of social and cultural values as the third pillar of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) in 2003 and the guidelines for their implementation in SFM in 2007 issued by the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forest in Europe (MCPFE), the importance of cultural values is not sufficiently transferred into forest planning and conservation. Tuscany is widely known for the quality of its cultural landscape, however, the abandonment of agro-pastoral surfaces as a consequence of rural areas depopulation, has led to widespread reforestation and to the abandonment of forest management. In addition, due to the interruption of a regular forest management and to the fact that most of the population lives in cities, forests are no more perceived as part of the cultural heritage, but mainly as a natural landscape. Due to this trend traditional forest management techniques, such as coppicing, have also been considered as a factor of degradation Citation: Piras, F.; Venturi, M.; and not even a historical management form. The aim of the study is therefore to analyze forest Corrieri, F.; Santoro, A.; Agnoletti, M. surface changes in Tuscany in the last century to assess the importance of cultural values.
