CHALET VILLA ORTENSIA: Your Dream House in Italy CHALET VILLA ORTENSIA: Your dream house in Italy The villa, originally built in 1967, already then with finishes of great value, was completely renovated in 2016 and it has been ranked as “A” energy label. It is detached, free on four sides, in a dominant position with stunning views of the Alps and Monviso mount, without buildings on the rear side and well spaced from the neighbouring properties on the sides. It is conveniently located along the SP 188, in Borgata Levrette of Valgioie, a only villas residential area, about 800 meters from the village center (Borgata Chiapero), where you can find a grocery store, ATM, library, church, bar, restaurant, town hall and elementary school. It has a pedestrian entrance and a driveway gate with one or two uncovered parking spaces. It has three apartments of different sizes, on two floors plus recreation room and attic (not habitable, used as a technical room). They are all furnished with essential furniture (kitchens, beds, wardrobes, washing machines, etc.) and are therefore immediately livable. Among the most significant renovation works, the perimeter thermal insulation by blowing, roof insulation, all the windows and doors were replaced with low-emission PVC ones, all the systems (electrical, thermal, water) were replaced. All the original ceramic floor and wall tiles have been changed to porcelain stoneware, with a marble-like or parquet-like look. The entire facade was repainted, the front one was plastered and painted to hide the klinker that aged its appearance. Even the interior has just been repainted, sanitized and thoroughly cleaned, and has not been inhabited since. Please refer to the technical documents (provided on request) for further details. In addition to the garden in front, of about 250 sqm., it is surrounded by a park of about 1600 sqm., planted with large hydrangea bushes (hence the name) and numerous fruit trees (walnut, hazelnut, plum, chestnut, black cherry, cherry, pear, fig, strawberry vine). The park, subdivided into three maps and fenced, is steep but has a flat area of about 100 square meters, once used as a bowling green. The land is crossed by a stream and has a barbecue area. Access to the land is both from the road, through an independent gate and staircase, and from the tavern floor, through a flight of stairs. Instead, to access from the street level to the floors below there is an external staircase, with a closed basement currently used as a woodshed (also suitable for the shelter of small animals). The Apartments of Chalet Villa Ortensia Romance Apartment The apartment is located on the ground floor of the villa, overlooking the front garden and - the remaining sides - on the park of the villa. It is equipped with double entrances with security door, respectively from the living room and the kitchen. Both entrances overlook a valuable Luserna stone paved porch, spacious enough to place table and chairs for having meals outside. The entrance is on an amazing living room of about 60 sqm. with fireplace and fine marble floors. The living room overlooks a panoramic terrace with an open view of the Alps and Monviso. Considering the wide spaces, it is possible to obtain two more bedrooms where now are positioned sofa and armchairs you can see in the photo below, or to insert sofas/armchairs to create additional beds. The double bedroom, with its own terrace also accessible from the living room, has walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with shower and bidet. Floors and walls are in porcelain stoneware. From the hallway/cabin closet leading to the bathroom you can access the hatch leading to the attic, where the technical systems for heating and hot water production are located. There is also a spacious eat-in kitchen. The floor is in Carrara marble, the porcelain stoneware covering. The apartment is completed by a laundry room with washing machine and a further bathroom with shower and bidet. Floors and walls are in porcelain stoneware. Melavorio Apartment The apartment is located on the mezzanine floor of the villa. It can be reached by an external staircase and it is accessed from an indoor landing closed by an external door. It has a security door. The entrance is in a living room with kitchenette. It has a double bedroom: The bathroom, with shower, bidet and washing machine: All this is completed by a large terrace 9 meters long, which goes from the living room to the bedroom, with magnificent open view of the Alps and Monviso. The floors and walls of the entire accommodation are in porcelain stoneware. Belle Epoque Apartment The apartment is located on the mezzanine floor of the villa. It is reached by an external staircase and is accessed from an internal landing closed by an external door. It has an entrance living room with kitchenette. It has a security door. The living room has Carrara marble floors. The kitchenette has marble-like porcelain stoneware floor and wall tiles. It has a double bedroom, plus a children's room, overlooking the hydrangea garden. This accommodation is completed by a windowed bathroom with shower, bidet and washing machine. All floors and walls are in porcelain stoneware. The recreation room and the ancillary rooms The tavern is accessible both from the internal Carrara marble staircase, which starts from the landing of the mezzanine floor, and from the external staircase. It is a very spacious room: In addition to the open space, we find inside: - a comfortable bathroom with toilet and sink, - two heating rooms, one of which also serves as a cellar, with wash basin, - a basement with a porthole window, concrete shelves and security lock. - a little storage room, with security lock. The external access is protected by a glass door with security lock. Outside there is a porch and some greenery surrounding the building on three sides: From this point starts the staircase to the park. This is the villa seen from the park, from which its development is evident: The entire building is heated by pellets. Each apartment has an independent system, newly installed (December 2019) and still under warranty, fully compliant with the emissions laws provided by the Piedmont Region for this kind of systems. For the water supply there are two meters, one for the ground floor (Romance) and one for the remaining apartments, each with a litre-counter for the right distribution of individual consumption. The protection of the house from unwanted intrusions is ensured by burglar-proof metal security shutters and grilles at the basement windows. For the reception of TV programs there is a satellite system with satellite dish, which allows the viewing of many channels worldwide. In the whole building there is the predisposition for the wi - fi system, only the router and the repeaters granted in use by the provider are missing at the conclusion of the contract. Among other things, Valgioie should soon start work on the infrastructure of the Ultra Wide Band Plan to ensure an ultra fast internet connection of at least 30 Megabytes per second. Thanks to the way it is structured, the chalet is the ultimate location for growing vegetables and berries (in addition to the existing fruit plants) to prepare preserves and jams; to breed small animals such as chickens, geese, rabbits, goats, dogs and cats; in the recreation room to set a playroom with table football, board games, library, or insert additional beds. In the following pages, the plans of all the spaces described above. Romance Apartment Melavorio Apartment Belle Epoque Apartment Recreation room, heating rooms, storage room and shared areas Ground development around the property The request for the entire property, including furnishings and grounds, is € 450,000. Valgioie and its surroundings We are in the North West of Italy, in Piedmont , the region that the Lonely Planet has crowned as “the most beautiful in the world". Former Savoy stronghold, cradle of national unity and engine of 20th century industry, the “Best in Travel 2019"; region boasts extraordinary nature, history, tradition, culture, technological innovation, top quality food and wine, sport and relaxation. Turin is its worthy capital. Roman colony, heart of the Savoy kingdom, first capital of Italy, city of industry, Turin is still the proud city of the Savoy, home to the the sumptuous beauty of the noble palaces and the rigorous elegance of its splendid squares. Turin is scattered with buildings of timeless charm. Along the river Po, on the hills and in the neighboring municipalities shines the 'Crown of Delights' , a series of royal residences built over the centuries as lieux de loisir for the royal family, the Savoy aristocracy and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among the 11 residences in the city centre (the so-called 'command area') stand out the sumptuous Royal Palace, which with the Royal Armoury, the State Archives, the Facade of the Royal Theatre and Chiablese Palace make Piazza Castello an authentic museum in which to travel through the centuries; Standing next to it is the Madama Palace, in the centre of the same square and historical compendium of almost all the architectural phases of the city; and Carignano Palace, with the unmistakable sinuous movement of Guarino Guarini's façade. Another 11 residences, except the Valentino’s Castle, lying along the Po in the homonymous park, beautify parks and hills on the edge of the city or in its surroundings. Here lies the delightful Queen’s Villa, surrounded by gardens and vineyards and a stone's throw from the centre, and in the first belt the Rivoli Castle, a military stronghold in the 11th century and now home to a permanent collection and prestigious temporary exhibitions; the magnificent Venaria Reale, designed in the 17th century as a hunting lodge, enlarged over the centuries and considered one of the most beautiful royal residences in Europe; and lastly the Stupinigi’s Hunting Palace, a Rococo masterpiece by Filippo Juvarra.

Fontefrancesco1 and Andrea Pieroni1,2* Abstract Background: Mountain environments are fragile socio-ecological systems and the conservation of their biological and cultural diversities— seen as co-evolving, strongly intertwined entities—represents a crucial issue for fostering their sustainability. Very few ethnobiological studies have assessed in the mountainous regions of Europe how local botanical knowledge, which represents a vital portion of the local environmental knowledge (LEK), changes over time, although this may be quintessential for a better understanding of the factors influencing how knowledge and practices are shaped, eroded, or even re-created. Methods: In the current study, we compared the gathering and use of local medicinal plants in the Upper Sangone Valley, Western Italian Alps, Piedmont (NW Italy) as described in a field study conducted in the mid- seventies and published in 1977 and those arising from field research that we conducted in the spring of 2015 and 2018, during which time ethnobotanical and ethnomycological information concerning both folk medicinal and wild food uses was obtained via 47 in-depth open and semi-structured interviews with community members. Results: In total, one hundred thirty folk taxa represent the past and present medicinal and wild food plant/ mushroom heritage of the Sangone Valley: 26 herbal taxa were recorded 40 years ago only; 68 herbal and wild food taxa have been recorded in the current study only; and 36 herbal taxa have been continuously used during the last 40 years.

  • Giro Dell'orsiera” Includes a Six-Day Trekking with Overnight Stay at the Five Staffed Huts in the Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park
    “GIRO DELL’ORSIERA” Official guide (update 2021) A six-day trekking in the Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park Val Sangone – Val Chisone – Valle di Susa Trekking in Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park - Photo by M. Cavallo The “Giro dell'Orsiera” includes a six-day trekking with overnight stay at the five staffed huts in the Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park. The itinerary offers a broad view of the terrain as well as the historical and cultural aspects of the protected area. It is divided into sections with well-marked trails and moderate altitude differences that hikers with average training can easily follow. There are opportunities for frequent breaks at campsites, glacial lakes, and alpine farms where it is possible to taste the traditional cheese. The sections: access to reception facilities The hiking tour starts in Borgata Molè (Coazze) but you can also begin from any of the following stops. We suggest starting at Forno di Coazze/Molè, in Val Sangone, because it is easily accessible by car and it is half-way between the huts at Val Gravio (Val Susa) and Balma (Val Sangone), which would otherwise be too far to connect in a single day. For those using any other access to the Orsiera Tour (ex. Cortavetto di San Giorio in Val Susa, Prà Catinat in Val Chisone, the train stations in Bussoleno and Borgone) we suggest dividing the tour between the Val Gravio Refuge and the Balma Refuge in two separate steps, for example staying in the Alpine House “Evelina Ostorero” in Forno di Coazze. Borgata Molè (Coazze) altitude: 1087 m above sea level The Molè village is reached by paved road from the Sanctuary of Forno di Coazze (0.8 km) and it is possible to park the car in the area near the buildings.

  • Master of Science in Architecture Honors Theses
    POLITECNICO DI TORINO SECOND SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE Master of Science in Architecture Honors theses Recovering marginal areas: the case of Firsat in Moncalieri by Luca Mercutello and Matteo Moscone Tutor: Massimo Camasso The aim of the work is the development of a methodology feasible in those parts of the city usually defined as "marginal areas." They are often intercluse farmland, outdated by town expansion, excluded from the countryside, but not incorporated into the building fabric, awaiting utilizations that are now unlikely. The site chosen for the project, located in the west suburb of Moncalieri, along the border with the town of Nichelino, is a disused industrial area where it is expected by the City the location of new settlements housing residence, commercial and trade. It owes its condition of marginality to the fact of rising beyond a series of infrastructural and natural barriers: the Po river, the Sangone torrent, the rail (lines Turin-Genoa and Turin-Pinerolo branch), and the entrance of the motorway Turin-Savona. At the centre of the project area stand the establishment of the old Firsat, which is currently in terms of strong degradation. Notwithstanding the industry is, because of its architectural elements, a landmark for the surrounding areas: the coverage consists of two orders of concrete hyperbolic paraboloids. The goal that the project aims to achieve is to connect -or reconnect- this portion of territory with what around it, thus giving back the city a missing part. In our analysis, two different meanings were given to the concept of connection. The first, material, is related to roads, routes, alignments, location of physical objects and their size.

Nonetheless, often ecosystem service maps are the product of different data inputs that influences the final modeling output thus affecting final decisions, especially when a finer and site-specific assessment is required to design practical and effective solutions. In this work, the city of Turin (Northwest Italy) was selected as a test site for an empirical experiment of ecosystem service mapping using the software Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST): two habitat quality models of the city were compared in a Geographic Information System environment, the first using the “traditional” sensitivity employed during the LIFE SAM4CP European research while the second using the natural difference vegetation index to re-assign the sensitivity scores.

  • Servizio Risorse Idriche” Della Città Metropolitana Di Torino, Vi È L’Analisi Di Alcune Aree Gestite Dalla Società Metropolitana Acque Torino S.P.A
    Martina Bua Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Pianificazione Territoriale, Urbanistica e Paesaggistico Ambientale TITOLO: Pianificare e gestire le aree di salvaguardia delle acque destinate al consumo umano: il caso delle aree SMAT presenti nei territori del Bacino del Sangone. ABSTRACT Alla base di questo studio, realizzato in collaborazione con il “Servizio Risorse Idriche” della Città Metropolitana di Torino, vi è l’analisi di alcune aree gestite dalla Società Metropolitana Acque Torino S.p.A. (SMAT), situate all’interno del Bacino del Torrente Sangone. In particolare si pone l’attenzione sui territori dove insistono le due grandi aree di salvaguardia dei prelievi SMAT, situati l’uno tra i comuni di Trana e Sangano e l’altro a Rivalta di Torino. L’azienda SMAT si occupa della gestione di reti idriche e di impianti di trattamento delle acque potabili ed acque reflue, gestendo direttamente o indirettamente i terreni dove sono situate le gallerie drenanti ed i pozzi ad uso idropotabile. L’obiettivo del lavoro è quello di individuare possibili soluzioni per la gestione sostenibile delle aree di salvaguardia della acque destinate al consumo umano, partendo da uno specifico caso studio, effettuando l’analisi approfondita dell’uso dei suoli nelle aree individuate e fornendo proposte adatte ai siti ed alle criticità di questi contesti peculiari. Per sviluppare la ricerca è stato consultato un notevole quantitativo di documenti tra piani, masterplan, testi specifici, cartografie e norme e ci si è avvalsi dell’ausilio del software QGis per poter produrre le necessarie elaborazioni cartografiche. Inoltre, per poter avere una conoscenza più approfondita dell’area di studio, sono stati effettuati anche sopralluoghi locali con il supporto dei tecnici SMAT.
