    Transalpine Pass Routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the Strategic Use of Topographic Resources

    Preistoria Alpina, 42 (2007): 109-118 ISSN 09-0157 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2007 Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources Philippe DELLA CASA Department of Pre-/Protohistory, University of Zurich, Karl-Schmid-Str. ���������������������������4, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources - Using examples from the San Bernardino and the St. Gotthard passes in the Swiss Central Alps, this paper discusses how the existence of transalpine high altitude pass routes can be inferred, even though there is a lack physical evidence, from specific Bronze and Iron Age settlement patterns in access valleys. Particular attention is given to the effect of topography within the territorial and economic organizational area on transalpine tracks and traffic routes. A set of recurring patterns, such as strategic position, natural and/or artificial protection, presence of “foreign” materials, can help identifying (settlement) sites with particular functions as regards traffic and trade within the systems of territorial organization. Moreover, the paper also addresses socio-dynamic issues of the problem of transalpine pass routes. RIASSUNTO - Passi transalpini nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere e uso strategico di risorse topografiche -Usando esempi dal Passo di San Bernardino e dal Passo del San Gottardo nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere, il presente contributo discute come l’esistenza di vie di transito transalpine d’alta quota possa essere dedotta, anche mancando evidenze fisiche, da specifici modelli insediativi dell’età del Bronzo e del Ferro presenti nelle valli di accesso.

    From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy Trail Along the Mountain Side , East from Como

    1 From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy trail along the mountain side , east from Como. From Torno it is possible to get back to Como by boat all year round. ITINERARY: Brunate - Monte Piatto - Torno WALKING TIME: 2hrs 30min ASCENT: almost none DESCENT: 400m DIFFICULTY: Easy. The path is mainly flat. The last section is a stepped mule track downhill, but the first section of the path is rather rugged. Not recommended in bad weather. TRAIL SIGNS: Signs to “Montepiatto” all along the trail CONNECTIONS: To Brunate Funicular from Como, Piazza De Gasperi every 30 minutes From Torno to Como boats and buses no. C30/31/32 ROUTE: From the lakeside road Lungo Lario Trieste in Como you can reach Brunate by funicular. The tram-like vehicle shuffles between the lake and the mountain village in 8 minutes. At the top station walk down the steps to turn right along via Roma. Here you can see lots of charming buildings dating back to the early 20th century, the golden era for Brunate’s tourism, like Villa Pirotta (Federico Frigerio, 1902) or the fountain called “Tre Fontane” with a Campari advertising bas-relief of the 30es. Turn left to follow via Nidrino, and pass by the Chalet Sonzogno (1902). Do not follow via Monte Rosa but instead walk down to the sportscentre. At the end of the football pitch follow the track on the right marked as “Strada Regia.” The trail slowly works its way down to the Monti di Blevio . Ignore the “Strada Regia” which leads to Capovico but continue straight along the flat path until you reach Monti di Sorto .

    Botschaft Für Die Schamser Bevölkerung Zu Grundsatzent

    Botschaft zur Gründung eines Schulverbandes Schams Der Kreisrat Schams hat im Herbst 2004 beschlossen, eine Arbeitsgruppe zur Überprüfung der Schulstrukturen im Schams einzusetzen. Vertreter aus dem Kreisrat, der Schulbehörden und des Lehrkörpers haben mit Unterstützung von auswärtigen Fachpersonen in mehreren Workshops und Sitzungen eine Projektskizze für einen Schulzusammenschluss im Schams erarbeitet. Die Schulstandortsgemeinden Andeer, Zillis und Donat haben die erarbeitete Projektskizze im Mai 2007 leicht überarbeitet. An der Kreisratsitzung vom 19. Juni 2007 haben alle Gemeindepräsidenten und Ratsmitglieder des Kreises Schams in Anlehnung an die Projektskizze eine Abstimmung über einen Schulzusammen- schluss in unserem Tal befürwortet. Der damals verabschiedete Text zu einem Zusammenschluss lautete wie folgt: Schulverband Schams: Für die Primar- und Oberstufe Schams wird ein Schulverband gegründet. Dieser löst die bestehenden Schulstrukturen ab. Die Oberstufe soll zusammengeführt und nach Möglichkeit mit dem Modell C in Zillis geführt werden. Die deutschsprachige Abteilung der Primarschule wird in Andeer geführt, die romanischsprachige Abteilung in Donat. Schülerinnen und Schüler, welche die romanische Schule besuchen wollen, werden in Donat aufgenommen. Schülerinnen und Schüler, welche keinen romanischen Kindergarten besucht haben, können die deutschsprachige Primarschule in Andeer besuchen. Die Primarschule Avers wird wie bis anhin (selbständig) weitergeführt! Die Oberstufenschüler von Avers können – aufgrund einer Vereinbarung – die Oberstufe in Zillis besuchen. Die Kindergärten bleiben soweit möglich in den jeweiligen Orten bestehen und sind nicht im Schulverband integriert. Zwischen Donat und Zillis werden bereits Möglichkeiten der Zusammenarbeit diskutiert. Schulführungsstruktur: Die vorgeschlagene Variante bringt mit sich, dass nur mehr eine Schulbehörde für das Schams notwendig ist. Um die operativ-administrativen Arbeiten effizient zu lösen, ist die Einsetzung einer teilzeitlich professionellen Schulleitung für die Schule Schams zu prüfen.

    IL COMUNE DI MESE (SONDRIO), IL SUO TERRITORIO, LA SUA GENTE. ASPETTO GEOGRAFICO Mese, Paese Confinante Con Chiavenna, È Situa

    IL COMUNE DI MESE (SONDRIO), IL SUO TERRITORIO, LA SUA GENTE. ASPETTO GEOGRAFICO Mese, paese confinante con Chiavenna, è situato al piede dell’estremo lembo delle alpi Lepontine, all’imbocco della Valle Spluga, a 12 km dal confine svizzero. Con una superficie di 417 ettari è il quartultimo per estensione di tutti i Comuni della Provincia di Sondrio. L’altitudine minima è di 253 m s.l.m. e la massima non è superiore a 900. Almeno 308 ettari della sua superficie si trovano al di sotto dei 500 m s.l.m. per cui l’altitudine media risulta essere la più bassa della Valchiavenna e tra le più basse della Valtellina. Il territorio Comunale è nettamente diviso in zona pianeggiante, in gran parte urbanizzata e marginalmente agricola e in zona montuoso-boschiva, semi-abbandonata. Il paese si trova adagiato sui declivi di fondovalle formati dai conoidi dei torrenti Rossedo e Gualdiscione e dalla parte destra del conoide del torrente Liro. La delimitazione territoriale è irregolare nella parte montuosa e segue per gli altri tre lati i corsi d’acqua Liro, Mera e Rossedo. L’abitato risulta praticamente in continuità con quello di Chiavenna. La strada di comunicazione principale è rappresentata dalla Via Trivulzia, che, partendo dal Comune di Chiavenna, passa per Mese e raggiunge i comuni di Gordona e di Samolaco. Il paesaggio e l’ambiente naturale sono sostanzialmente di due tipi, quello di fondovalle e quello di versante. All’ unico nucleo principale sul fondovalle, fanno da corona piccoli nuclei di antica formazione, disseminati sul versante, disabitati da oltre 50 anni.
  • The Geomorphosites in Lombardy

    The Geomorphosites in Lombardy

    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 18(1), 2005 - Volume Speciale, 39-61 THE GEOMORPHOSITES IN LOMBARDY Luisa Pellegrini, Paolo Boni, Pierluigi Vercesi, Alberto Carton, Lamberto Laureti & Francesco Zucca with contribution of Stefania De Vita Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Pavia, Via Ferrata 1, 27100 Pavia – e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: L. Pellegrini et al., The Geomorphosites in Lombardy. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). Lombardy is a region of Northern Italy with a territory whose structure includes, from the physical-geographical point of view, a very important portion of the Alps and the adjacent Po plain with a little part of the Northern Apennines. This situation is due to the complexity of the landscape with its great diversity of historical and human aspects, frequently studied and described, but also the same physical elements which are, owing to their interest, worthy of conservation as part of the cultural heritage. As in many other Italian regions and provinces, also in Lombardy the exigence of describing and making available sites and peculiari- ties of the landscape arose, together with the suggestion of specific naturalistic tours, by means of relative guidebooks, monographs and so on. The Authors of the present work (as a part of the national research programme on ‘Geosites and Italian Landscape’) made a census of geomorphosites in Lombardy in order to their improvement, conservation and availability, both on the tourist and the scientific level. From the operating point of view, because of the high heterogeneity of the Lombard physical landscapes, it has been necessary to dif- ferentiate three main areas: Alps, Po plain and Apennines.

    Geomechanical Studies of an Alpine Rock Mass

    ROCKENG09: Proceedings of the 3rd CANUS Rock Mechanics Symposium, Toronto, May 2009 (Ed: M.Diederichs and G. Grasselli) Geomechanical studies of an alpine rock mass Tiziana Apuani , Gianpaolo Giani, Andrea Merri University of Milan - Dept. of Earth Science ABSTRACT: The study refers to an area of about 70 km2, extended in the Italian Central Alps along the the San Giacomo Valley where different civil and mining works are present The re- gional geological setting is related to the Pennidic Nappe arrangement, characterized by the em- placement of sub-horizontal gneissic bodies resulting from the Mesoalpine isoclinalic folding of crystalline basements, emplaced throw East, and separated by matasedimentary cover units. The investigated geological rocks, belong to the “Tambò”Unit, overlapped by its meta-sedimentary cover and by the “Suretta” Unit. The tectonic contact gently dips to the E–NE. The valley, fur- rowed by the Liro Torrent, follows a N–S striking tectonic lineament, almost parallel to the nappe contact. A number of more then 70 sites, distributed in the studied area, were chosen and detailed structural and geomechanical field surveys were performed to characterize the rock masses, its intact rock and discontinuities. The procedure identifies the number of joint sets, their representative orientation, the set spacing, the type of movement, the amount of dilatation, the degree of alteration, the roughness coefficient, the presence and nature of infill. Rock mass quality indexes, such as the Rock Mass Rating (Bieniawski, 1989) or the Geological Strength Index (Hoek et al. 2002) have been evaluated in each surveyed site. The work is a contribute in assessing how the geometrical and geomechanical properties of the rock masses can be regarded as regionalized variables.

    Carta Provinciale Delle Vocazioni Ittiche

    Provincia di Sondrio Carta Provinciale delle vocazioni ittiche (Legge regionale 30 luglio 2001 n° 12) 1. Introduzione 1.1 Finalità La Regione Lombardia, con la L. R. 30 luglio 2001 n.12, si è posta come obiettivi generali la salvaguardia delle acque interne dalle alterazioni ambientali e la tutela della fauna ittica autoctona. Successivamente, con il “Documento tecnico regionale per la gestione ittica” (D.G.R. 11 febbraio 2005), la Regione ha definito la linee guida per la gestione della pesca in Lombardia nel triennio 2005-2007”. In questo quadro di riferimento legislativo la regione Lombardia ha così specificato le finalità da perseguire nella gestione degli ambienti acquatici: • tutelare la fauna ittica autoctona del territorio regionale, nell’interesse della comunità e della qualità dell’ambiente • salvaguardare le acque interne dalle alterazioni ambientali • disciplinare l’attività pescatoria nel rispetto dell’equilibrio biologico ed ai fini della tutela e dell’incremento naturale della fauna ittica autoctona • favorire la ricerca, la sperimentazione e l'acquacoltura finalizzate alla gestione della pesca ed al ripopolamento delle acque • promuovere, la conoscenza della fauna ittica, dell’ambiente e la loro tutela anche mediante attività di divulgazione Su tali basi e secondo una logica di decentramento le Province devono predisporre le Carte delle vocazioni ittiche ed i Piani ittici, documenti pianificatori che, partendo dalla conoscenza del territorio e dei suoi habitat acquatici, intendono programmare la gestione del patrimonio
