  • Compte Rendu Du Voyage
    Quand la Réforme arrivait d’Italie Compte-rendu de l’excursion des AMIDUMIR au Val Bregaglia 5 - 9 septembre 2019 Avant que le Gothard ne s’impose comme lieu de transit entre le Sud et le Nord de l’Europe, le Val Bregaglia représentait probablement le chemin principal qui reliait l’Italie aux territoires helvétiques et allemands, se prolongeant vers les cols du Septimer et du Julier. Les Romains y ont laissé des traces tout comme - et c’est le propos principal de cette notice - la Réforme protestante, arrivée elle-même du Sud et dont l’acteur principal a été Pietro Paolo Vergerio, actif dans la vallée et en particulier à Vicosprano au début des années 1530. C’est quasiment le même parcours qu’a suivi la quarantaine de participants à l’excursion excellemment organisée début septembre 2019 par nos amis Claude Howald, Ruedi Renfer et Christoph Stucki. Basé dans la ville italienne de Chiavenna, au pied de la vallée, le groupe a pu découvrir chaque jour un nouveau village, de nouvelles histoires, de nouveaux édifices. Tout d’abord le palais Vertemate Franchi, seul édifice d’importance sauvé de l’éboulement gigantesque qui a détruit le village de Piuro en 1618 ; nous avons pu y contempler de belles fresques représentant surtout des scènes de la mythologie, des plafonds magnifiquement décorés ou sculptés et faire quelques pas dans un jardin où l’on s’efforce de faire revivre des plantes et légumes « de l’époque », avant de découvrir une cuisine traditionnelle dans un crotto du village. L’après-midi de ce premier jour nous a ensuite conduits à Bondo et à sa très belle petite église dont les peintures, recouvertes de plâtre puis redécouvertes lors d’une rénovation, nous présentent, dans l’abside, les quatre évangélistes entourant le Christ en mandorle et, sur un mur latéral, une cène partiellement tronquée par une colonne édifiée dans l’ignorance, alors, de l’œuvre qu’elle faisait ainsi disparaître.

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

  • 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.

  • Wanderwoche Im Grenzland BERGELL/VAL BREGAGLIA Vom 8
    AVS Meran - Wanderwoche im Grenzland BERGELL/VAL BREGAGLIA vom 8. bis 14. Juli 2018 Blick auf die Sciora-Gruppe mit Piz Cengalo und Piz Badile Unterwegs auf Saumpfaden und historischen Talwegen zwischen Maloja und Chiavenna Die Wanderwoche 2018 führt ins Bergell / Val Bregaglia, einem ca. 30 km langen Tal, das vom schweizerischen Maloja-Pass (Graubünden) in die italienische Kleinstadt Chiavenna in der Provinz Sondrio reicht. Daher kann man in hochalpinen Landschaften und in Gebieten mit fast mediterraner Vegetation wandern, schweizerische Präzision und südländische Gelassenheit erleben. Das Tal liegt etwas abseits der großen Touristenströme und hat noch viel von seiner Ursprünglichkeit bewahrt. Es bietet anspruchsvolle Touren im steilen Gelände und gemütliche Wanderungen an Hängen und im Talboden. Zudem gibt es kulturelle Angebote wie Museen und Ausstellungen, weil hier namhafte Künstler wie Giovanni Segantini oder Alberto Giacometti gelebt und gewirkt haben. Die ausgewählten Wanderungen stellen keine besonderen Herausforderungen dar, sie erfordern aber eine gute Kondition und Trittsicherheit. An zwei Tagen gibt es die Alternative zwischen einer anspruchsvolleren und einer leichteren Tour. Außerdem gibt es immer noch die Möglichkeit, in oder von Chiavenna aus kleine Wanderungen oder Spaziergänge zu machen, falls jemand einen Tag zum Ausspannen braucht. Anfahrt und Unterkunft Abfahrt mit Bus am Sonntag, 8. Juli um 07:00 Uhr vom Prader-Platz in Meran über St. Moritz und Maloja-Pass nach Chiavenna. Zuweisung der Zimmer und Mittagessen im Hotel San Lorenzo in Chiavenna. Hotel Flora und Hotel San Lorenzo in Chiavenna www.sanlorenzochiavenna.it Touren und Wanderungen Wir werden fünf Touren unternehmen mit einer Gehzeit von vier bis sechs Stunden. Dazu kommt eine kurze Eingehtour am Ankunftstag.

Watercolors (16.10.2020 — 17.1.2021) 1. Press release MCBA the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts of Lausanne conserves many oil paintings and drawings by Giovanni Giacometti, a major artist from the turn of the 20th century and a faithful friend of one of the institution’s great donors, the Lausanne doctor Henri-Auguste Widmer. By putting on display an exceptional group of watercolors, all of them privately owned and almost all unknown outside their home, MCBA is inviting us to discover a lesser known side of Giovanni Giacometti’s remarkable body of work. Giovanni Giacometti (Stampa, 1868 – Glion, 1933) practiced watercolor throughout his life. As with his oil paintings, he found most of his subjects in the landscapes of his native region, Val Bregaglia and Engadin in the Canton of Graubünden. Still another source of inspiration were the members of his family going about their daily activities, as were local women and men busy working in the fields or fishing. The artist turned to watercolor for commissioned works as well.

    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

Mergili ([email protected]) 13 Abstract 14 In the morning of 23 August 2017, around 3 million m³ of granitoid rock broke off from the east face of Piz Cengalo, 15 SE Switzerland. The initial rock slide-rock fall entrained 0.6 million m³ of a glacier and continued as a rock(-ice) ava- 16 lanche, before evolving into a channelized debris flow that reached the village of Bondo at a distance of 6.5 km after a 17 couple of minutes. Subsequent debris flow surges followed in the next hours and days. The event resulted in eight 18 fatalities along its path and severely damaged Bondo. The most likely candidates for the water causing the transfor- 19 mation of the rock avalanche into a long-runout debris flow are the entrained glacier ice and water originating from 20 the debris beneath the rock avalanche.
