Bonora University of Florence, Dept. of Restoration and Conservation of Architectural Heritage, 50121 Florence, Italy [email protected] [email protected] KEY WORDS: Teaching, Education, Orthorectification, Knowledge Base, Laser scanning, Photogrammetry ABSTRACT: In the study programmes offered by the Italian Architecture Faculties there is often little time dedicated to the teaching of Geomat- ics. On the other hand there is an ever-increasing awareness that the correct management of the cultural heritage requires that the importance of reliable graphic documentation be recognized; such documentation can be used for elaborating further analyses and for designing conservation projects. This paper presents the results of practical work carried out during the Topography/Surveying and surveying methodology/Survey au- tomation course held in the 2005-2006 academic year at the Faculty of Architecture of the Turin Polytechnic. This work consisted in the metrical survey of the facades of the Valentino Castle at Turin. The castle therefore, not only hosted the classrooms where theoretical lessons were held but also provided the material for practical experience. 1.

Owing to two world wars and internal political turbulent situation, it leaded to little gains. The huge quick urbanization from 1980s has swept away existing built environment extensively and annihilated national-wild identity. Professionals shed great attention on the historic heritage conservation since then. Massive international laws, charters and international cases began to be introduced, and China started to involve in international historic conservation movements actively. Though basic hierarchy conservation system was established, ideal methods was plotted, specific planning program was outlined, limited projects was performed successfully.

Marconi 18 Bus Stop n. Donizetti 18 EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY NETWORK THIRD INTERNATIONAL MEETING PROGRAMME AND TOURS Welcome to the Third International EAHN Meeting in Turin After the two successful International Meetings in Guimarães (2010) and Brussels (2012), we are now gathering in Turin for our Third International Conference. Turin, “the nicest village in the world” for Montesquieu, “one-company town” for so many 20th-century observers, has many histories that can speak for it. In the last fifteen years, Turin’s cultural offer and its tourist accommodation capacity have widely increased. The city is reorganizing its economic identity also by promoting and being host to an array of cul- tural activities, exhibitions and conventions related to the cultural heritage, considered in its broad range of artistic, architectural, environmental as- sets and resources. World-famous events have reshaped Turin’s public im- age. The Winter Olympic Games (2006), the exhibition of the Holy Shroud (2010), and the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy (2011), put much energy into the connection between mega-events and cultural elaboration, through an extensive programme of exhibitions, historic symposia and thematic itineraries. Turin is home to a lively community of historians and has attracted the inter- est of architectural and urban historians during most of the 20th century. The city’s baroque architecture gained the early attention of scholars such as Albert Erich Brinckmann, who in 1931 dedicated to Turin and Pied- mont his book Theatrum novum Pedemontii: Ideen, Entwürfe und Bauten von Guarini, Juvarra, Vittone.

July is approaching and the beginning of the 28th Annual Meeting and Conference in Turin is really at the gates. It is a great honor for me to host this meeting for the first time in Turin, and for the second time in Italy, after many years! I want to write this brief greeting with my heart and thank all those who, with their great help and enthusiasm, have made this important meeting possible. First of all I want to thank our Secretary General, Bruce Hebblewhite, for his precious and constant help and indispensable suggestions during the last months; in addition, Oliver Langefeld, Serkan Saydam, Emily Sarver and Jürgen Kretschmann have done an excellent job in organizing the sessions, which present this year some novelties in terms of components and initiatives, also thanks to the contribution of Elisabeth Clausen. I add that I would not be here without the support of Vlad Kecojevic, my friend for years, who not only contributed to my entry to SOMP in 2010, but has been trusting me over these years and has always given me extremely useful suggestions; thanks especially to him, I am now part of this great Society, which is enriched every year by so many new members from around the world.

    water Article Effects of Tractor Passes on Hydrological and Soil Erosion Processes in Tilled and Grassed Vineyards Giorgio Capello 1, Marcella Biddoccu 1,*, Stefano Ferraris 2 and Eugenio Cavallo 1 1 Institute for Agricultural and Earthmoving Machines (IMAMOTER), National Research Council of Italy, Strada delle Cacce, 73, 10135 Torino, Italy; [email protected] (G.C.); [email protected] (E.C.) 2 Interuniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning (DIST), Politecnico di Torino and Università di Torino, Castello del Valentino, Viale Mattioli, 39, 10125 Torino, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-011-3977-723 Received: 31 August 2019; Accepted: 7 October 2019; Published: 12 October 2019 Abstract: Soil erosion is affected by rainfall temporal patterns and intensity variability. In vineyards, machine traffic is implemented with particular intensity from late spring to harvest, and it is responsible for soil compaction, which likely affects soil hydraulic properties, runoff, and soil erosion. Additionally, the hydraulic and physical properties of soil are highly influenced by vineyards’ inter-rows soil management. The effects on soil compaction and both hydrological and erosional processes of machine traffic were investigated on a sloping vineyard with different inter-row soil managements (tillage and permanent grass cover) in the Alto Monferrato area (Piedmont, NW Italy). During the investigation (November 2016–October 2018), soil water content, rainfall, runoff, and soil erosion were continuously monitored. Field-saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil penetration resistance, and bulk density were recorded periodically in portions of inter-rows affected and not affected by the machine traffic.
