  • Indagine Su Beni E Strutture Culturali in Provincia Di Imperia
    P.T.C della Provincia di Imperia – TEMA : BENI CULTURALI INDAGINE SU BENI E STRUTTURE CULTURALI IN PROVINCIA DI IMPERIA 1. - MAPPATURA EDIFICI VINCOLATI EX 1089 (D. LGS. n° 490 /1999) Sulla base dell’elenco gentilmente fornito, su supporto Excell, dalla Soprintendenza ai Beni Ambientali ed Architettonici della Liguria1 e grazie alla collaborazione della competente struttura della Regione Liguria, si è sviluppato un lavoro di reperimento dell’indirizzario dei Beni e quindi la mappatura informatica degli edifici interessati dal vincolo, operando in parte tramite conoscenza diretta, in parte previa ricerca presso gli uffici Tecnici Comunali. Contestualmente si è proceduto ad una elementare codifica degli edifici (o parti di edifici) suddividendoli in base alle seguenti voci (riferite alla funzione d’origine degli edifici stessi): A - BENI RELIGIOSI: cattedrale, chiesa, santuario, cappella, convento, cimitero, sepolcro. B - BENI CIVILI: palazzo, casa, casa con parco, villa, teatro, mercato, prigione, ponte, fontana, porta, giardino. C - BENI MILITARI: castello, torre, opera fortificata. E - EDIFICI INDUSTRIALI: oleifici, frantoi, mulini, fornaci. F - AFFRESCHI, BASSORILIEVI, ARCHITRAVI, colonne sovrapporte, piccole opere in esterno. G - BENI ARCHEOLOGICI (beni di palese tipologia archeologica). Il risultato del lavoro, comunque molto oneroso ed ancora perfezionabile, è espresso nella Carta di Mappatura Beni Culturali prodotta su base informatica georeferenziata, di contenuto molto elementare, pur tuttavia molto efficace nel consentire una prima identificazione delle Emergenze Monumentali in Provincia di Imperia, che devono essere considerate anche anche ai fini delle previsioni di interventi sul territorio. A partire da questa prima base cartografica è possibile procedere con celerità ad ulteriori verifiche di dettaglio delle localizzazioni, alla integrazione degli attributi assegnati ai Beni mediante acquisizione di informazioni anche di merito in relazione ai pregi architettonici ed artistici, all’accessibilità per la visita, ecc.

  • The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham
    The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham Abstract Palm trees are today a characteristic feature of tropical tourist landscapes around the world from Caribbean to the Maldives. They are also a distinctive element of Mediterranean landscapes. On the Italian Riviera they are frequently found in the grounds of villas and hotels, at railway stations and in public squares. This paper examines the changing landscapes of the palm trees of the Italian Riviera over the last 300 years. Palms, particularly Phoenix dactylifera, were an important element of the local economy cultivated especially for palm fronds to be sold for religious festivals. The widespread presence of palm trees gave stretches of the Ligurian coast an almost tropical character, especially around Bordighera and San Remo. These coastal towns became major health resorts in the late nineteenth century and international tourists and residents celebrated this exotic landscape. The palms became important subjects for amateur and professional artists and photographers and they proliferated in gardens, as street trees and in horticultural collections. They became signature trees for these wealthy therapeutic landscapes but rapid building development and the decline of the palm trade means that only fragments of the old palm plantations remain today and these are in need of careful conservation. Keywords: Palm trees, Liguria, landscape, British travellers, Topographical Art Introduction Trees and vegetation have always had a major role in the characterization and visual perception of the landscape. Their distribution, density, shape and size reveals much about cultural and physical associations between people and the landscape (Watkins 2014).
