Finito di stampare nel mese di luglio 2012 // Printed in July 2012 Per conto di // For Camera di Commercio di Perugia PRESENTAZIONE // INTRODUCTION Molti identificano la nostra terra con i luoghi della vita dei Grandi Santi, con alcuni tesori artistici imperdibili, con l’atmosfera idillica e spirituale che pervade il paesaggio. Ma accanto all’Umbria del “grand tour” classico ne esiste un’altra, meno nota, meno stereotipata e ancora da esplorare, fatta di foreste intatte e selvagge, sterminate praterie in quota e cieli solcati da deltaplani colorati, ripide e oscure forre, minuscole e delicate isole, oasi abitate da migliaia di uccelli migratori. Questo suggerisce la voce dei tanti autori che l’hanno conosciuta e raccontata. Così siamo tornati a parlare del “cuore verde d’Italia” e a farlo durante il Festival internazionale del Giornalismo, il prestigioso appuntamento che ogni primavera raduna a Perugia centinaia di reporter, impegnati a discutere dei grandi temi dell’informazione globalizzata. “Raccontami l’Umbria” è il concorso internazionale che la Camera di Commercio di Perugia promuove, insieme alla Camera di commercio di Terni, per premiare gli articoli che sulla carta stampata, la televisione ed il Web contribuiscono a dare visibilità in Italia e nel mondo all’Umbria e al suo territorio. Questo è il senso dell’operazione editoriale che qui presentiamo, proponendo ai nostri lettori, dopo il successo della precedente edizione, una selezione degli articoli che hanno partecipato al premio giornalistico 2012. Per assaporare una regione dalla quale bisogna aspettarsi l’inaspettato. Our region is often identified as a land of great saints, works of art that should not be missed, and a landscape steeped in an idyllic and spiritual atmosphere. But alongside the Umbria of the classical “Grand Tour” there is another Umbria less familiar, less stereotyped, and still to be explored. A region made up of wild untouched forests, endless mountain pastures, and skies dotted with brightly-coloured hang gliders; of deep dark ravines, exquisite tiny islands, and oases inhabited by thousands of migratory birds. This Umbria has inspired the many authors who have seen and described its charm. And so we have returned to describe the “green heart of Italy”, and it seems appropriate to do so during the International Journalism Festival, the prestigious gathering held in Perugia every spring where hundreds of reporters meet to discuss the most important issues of global information. “Stories on Umbria” is the international competition promoted by the Chambers of Commerce of Perugia and Terni which award prizes for printed articles, TV reports and Web articles that help promote Umbria and the region both in Italy and abroad. That is the idea behind this publication. After the success of the previous edition, we are happy to present our readers with a selection of the articles which were included in the 2012 journalism awards … to enjoy the true flavour of a region where you should expect the unexpected.

    Summary information Name of the Agricultural Heritage System: Original name in Italian: Fascia pedemontana olivata Assisi-Spoleto Translation into English: Olive groves of the slopes between Assisi and Spoleto Requesting Agency/Organization: Comune di Trevi Responsible Ministry (for the Government): Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies - Italy Location of the Site: The proposed area is located in the province of Perugia, in Umbria, a region in Central Italy. This area extends through the territories of six municipalities: Assisi, Spello, Foligno, Trevi, Campello sul Clitunno, Spoleto. Figure 1: the proposed are is located in Umbria, in the center of Italy. Accessibility of the Site to Capital City or Major Cities: The area is crossed from north to south by the roads SS75 and SS3, along the base of the Assisi- Spoleto hills. From these roads many branches run towards the olive-covered hills. The journey from Rome by car takes about 2-2.5 hours. Area of Coverage: The proposed area occupies a total of 9,213 hectares. The olive-growing surface is equal to about 4,570 hectares. Agro-Ecological Zones (for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries): About the 70% of the area is used for agricultural activities, while the 18% is classified as woodlands or scrublands. Only 11% of the total surface is classified as urban area or built up area. The cultivation of olive trees accounts for about half of the surface, mainly located on the west-facing slopes. Detailed land use maps can be found in the Annexes. Topographic Features: The proposed area is located along the Umbrian Valley, between 200 and 600 meters a.s.l., along the western Apennine ridge that runs from Assisi to Spoleto (the geomorphologic map, the map of the slopes, and the map of the slope exposure can be found in the Annexes).

  • Trichopteran Fauna of a Hydrographic Basin with a Complex Geological History (Umbria – Central Italy)
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 51 (2015) 157–177 Available online at: Ó EDP Sciences, 2015 www.limnology-journal.org DOI: 10.1051/limn/2015009 Trichopteran fauna of a hydrographic basin with a complex geological history (Umbria – Central Italy) C. Corallini1*, F. Cianficconi1 and B. Todini2 1 Department of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, University of Perugia 06123, Perugia, Italy 2 ARPA Umbria (Regional Environmental Protection Agency in Umbria), Via Pievaiola S. Sisto, 06132 – Perugia, Italy Received 3 December 2014; Accepted 4 March 2015 Abstract – We set the first comprehensive inventory of Trichoptera species from the Topino River basin (Umbria, Italy), based on research carried out from 1947 to 2006 at 61 lotic sites (including rheocrenous and rheolimnocrenous springs and watercourses) and 1 lentic site (marsh). In total, 78 species and 5 subspecies from 17 families were collected. The species belong to several chorological categories. The inventory com- prises 16 species and 5 subspecies endemic to the Italian fauna with Rhyacophila italica, Drusus camerinus, Drusus improvisus and Allogamus ausoniae limited to the central Apennines. The presence of Beraeodes minutus and Erotesis baltica in the Fonti del Clitunno and Wormaldia pulla marlieri in the Fergia River is noteworthy because they are rare species in Italy. Almost 60 years of research now allow us to draw a synthesis of Trichoptera diversity and distribution in light of the geological history at the drainage basin level. Key words: Trichoptera / Topino basin / tectonics Introduction
