IL CADORE: il fascino di montagne incantate e di una antica storia Il Cadore è la parte più settentrionale della provincia di Belluno ed è uno dei più bei luoghi alpini d’Italia. Vallata ricca di laghi e corsi d’acqua, presenta un paesaggio fatto di ampie conche verdi, circondate dalle ripide vette delle Dolomiti orientali. Adagiata in posizione dominante Pieve di Cadore è una cittadina vivace di oltre 4000 abitanti e costituisce il centro storico, artistico ed amministrativo del Cadore. Il paese ha dato i natali a Tiziano Vecellio e alla cerchia dei suoi parenti pittori. Centro del capoluogo è Piazza Tiziano, con la statua di bronzo del sommo artista ed il Palazzo della Magnifica Comunità di Cadore. Ad est si apre la valle del Piave, mentre a ovest la valle del Boite. Il Cadore è stato un crocevia di genti e quindi di culture provenienti dalla Germania, dall’Austria, dal Friuli e da Venezia e i suoi monumenti lo testimoniano. I primi insediamenti stabili risalgono all'età del ferro e sono documentati dai numerosi ritrovamenti archeologici della civiltà paleoveneta. I Romani arrivarono in Cadore nel II sec. a.C. e a Pieve, probabilmente sede di un presidio militare, vi era sul Montericco un tempio consacrato a Marte sul quale, con la cristianizzazione, fu edificata nel V secolo la prima chiesa cristiana dedicata a S.

C’est à un Français, Déodat Tancrède Gratet de Dolomieu (1750 – 1801) que l’on doit la découverte de la composition chimique de la roche dolomitique dont le double carbonate de calcium et de magnésium s’empourpre à l’aube et au crépuscule. Découvert en 1789 ce nouveau minéral reçut le nom de dolomite en l’honneur de son inventeur, tandis qu’on appela dolomie la roche qui en contenait. Par la suite, en 1864, toute la zone montagneuse où cette roche prédomine prit le nom de Dolomites.

Mid grade trad rock Trova il tuo piú vicino su www.sportler.com ¤ 23,50 INTRODUCTION Just two years after publication of the first edition it was already time for a second. This new edition has changed in look and organization while maintaining its original, well received characteristics. The availability of substantial new material and the desire to integrate the inevitable corrections, some purely editorial, others (thankfully few) in- volving clarifications and modifications to the route descriptions, led to the decision not to run a simple reprint. Bearing in mind that many “old” readers only recently purchased the first edition, it was decided to sub-divide the new edition into two volu- mes, “Western Dolomites (Volume 1)” and “Western Do- lomites (Volume 2)”, the first being a corrected reprint of the previous edition, and this second volume including all the new descriptions which, thanks also to the help of our generous collaborators, had been collected in the period from publication of the first edition (2009) to the present. This First edition: July 2011 means that our established “mid-grade” readers can acquire all the ISBN: 978-88-97299-08-0 new material without having to buy both books. Obviously, new readers (and virtually all readers of the English editions) are unaffected in this Idea Montagna Editoria e Alpinismo way.
