Laboratory, University of Molise, Italy e-mail: [email protected] ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9310-2732 Abstract Territorial management can be implemented through an intervention perspective concerning a plurality of characteristics inherent to natural and artificial resources, in order to guarantee protection of environmental and territorial identity. The thesis, to be addressed in this paper, concerns the question of whether landscape planning is able to prevent and protect against the risks deriving from poor management of the territory. In particular, in Italy the Landscape Plan, in the role it assumes under the so called Urbani Code, recognizes the value of the territories in an attempt to direct the safeguarding and restoration of landscape values. In this paper the role of Strategic Environmental Assessments in the prevention of risks in the hypothesis of reasonable alternatives has been analysed.

Introduction For the verification of the effects of the plan, the choice of the indicators in their dual value - qualitative and quantitative - is of fundamental importance. The indicators, as information capable of describing the spatial- temporal changes of the territory, involve environmental and perceptual landscape issues related to natural ecosystems, biodiversity, landscape, transport, cultural heritage, and energy. The topic is the subject of numerous investigations: they were conducted by researchers who study manifold aspects of the territory and landscape and therefore identify the aspects related to their disciplines. What unites most of the research, albeit coming from different scientific interests, is the relationship between the phenomena of instability on the territory. These events are mostly connected to the widespread landslide and erosion phenomenon at a territorial level in many European countries and also worldwide. Furthermore, recent scientific research is increasingly oriented towards investigating the effects of climate change on these phenomena. Landslide phenomena therefore affect a large part of the world and have certainly been aggravated over time by the increase in the building of settlements in particularly fragile areas. Landslides involve flowing, sliding, overturning, falling or spreading, and many landslides show a combination of different types of movements, either simultaneously or during the life of the landslide (Gariano & Guzzetti., 2016). Sloping areas are, by their nature, unstable and the monitoring of such phenomena is a crucial issue.

  • Molisans Between Transoceanic Vocations and the Lure of the Continent
    / 4 / 2011 / Migrations Molisans between transoceanic vocations and the lure of the Continent by Norberto Lombardi 1. The opening up of hyper-rural Molise After the armies had passed through Molise, on the morrow of the end of World War II, Molisans’ main preoccupation was not leaving their land and looking for better job and life prospects abroad. There were more immediate concerns, such as the return of prisoners, the high cost of living, rebuilding bombed towns, restoring roads and railways, restoring the water and electricity supply, and finding raw materials for artisanal activities. The recovery of the area was thus seen in a rather narrow perspective, as the healing of the wounds inflicted by the war to local society and the productive infrastructure, or, at most, as a reinforcement and development of traditional activities. The only sector where this perspective broadened was that of interregional transportation. The hope was to overcome the isolation of the region, although as a long-term project. When one peruses the local pages of the more or less politically engaged newspapers and journals that appeared with the return of democracy, and when one looks at institutional activities, especially those of the Consiglio provinciale di Campobasso, one is even surprised by the paucity and belatedness of references to the theme of emigration, deeply rooted as it is in the social conditions and culture of the Molisans.1 For example, one has to wait until 1949 for a report from Agnone, one of the historical epicenters of Molisan migration, to appear in the newspaper Il Messaggero.2 The report 1 For an overview of the phenomenon of migration in the history of the region, see Ricciarda Simoncelli, Il Molise.

We studied the Matese and Beneventano seismicity by means of high-precision locations of earthquakes spanning from 29 December 2013 to 4 September 2018. Events were located by using all of the available data from temporary and permanent stations in the area and a 1D computed velocity model, inverting the dataset with the Velest code. For events M > 2.8 we used P- and S-waves arrival times of the strong motion stations located in the study area. A constant value of 1.83 for Vp/Vs was computed with a modified Wadati method. The dataset consists of 2378 earthquakes, 18,715 P- and 12,295 S-wave arrival times. We computed 55 new fault plane solutions. The mechanisms show predominantly normal fault movements, with T-axis trends oriented NE–SW.

  • MOLISE Shorter Travelling Time to Rome the New Railway Lines
    MOLISE Shorter travelling time to Rome The new railway lines passing through the Molise region will be faster and, above all, safer. The new line, 49 km long, currently under construction between the stations of Rocca d’Evandro and Vairano, could reduce travelling time between Rome and Campobasso by about 20 minutes. Passengers arriving from Termoli on the Adriatic line could go through Venafro to reach the high-speed Rome-Naples line, which is also under construction, more quickly. The Venafro-Vairano stretch, on the other hand, is in need of technological upgrading. Centralised traffic control (CTC) is being installed on the Molise part of the Adriatic line. This is indispensable for railway safety given that double tracking on parts of the line will increase train speeds. Cleaner water A number of schemes have been promoted in an effort to improve water and sewage networks and upgrade the water purification system. As regards water networks, new equipment has been installed and some existing plant improved. This involved 109 projects spread over 136 municipalities in the region. In addition, 108 km of sewer trunk lines and collectors were laid and 74 new sewage plants put into operation, serving a population of 250,000 out of a total of about 330,000. The Pompei of the Dark Ages In the province of Isernia, major rehabilitation has been carried out in the San Vincenzo al Volturno area, an abbatial settlement founded in the Dark Ages and one of the most important monastic institutions of the Carolingian period, described by some as the Pompei of the Dark Ages.

Moderate to strong crustal earthquakes are generally accompanied by a distinctive pattern of coseismic geological phenomena, ranging from surface faulting to ground cracks, landslides, liquefaction/compaction, which leave a permanent mark in the landscape. Therefore, the repetition of surface faulting earthquakes over a geologic time interval determines a characteristic morphology closely related to seismic potential. To support this statement, the areal distribution and dimensions of effects of recent historical earthquakes in the Southern Apennines are being investigated in detail. This paper presents results concerning the 26 July 1805 earthquake in the Molise region, (I =X MCS, M = 6.8), and the 23 November 1980 earthquake in the Campania and Basilicata regions (I =XMSK,Ms = 6.9). Landslide data are also compared with two other historical earthquakes in the same region with similar macroseismic intensity. The number of significant effects (either ground deformation or hydrological anomalies) versus their minimum distance from the causative fault have been statistically analyzed, finding characteristic relationships.

  • Pizzone Article
    "They are hard working and they all have houses of their own:" The Pizzonesi in Chicago By Dominic Candeloro In our ongoing effort to document the many facets of emigration from Italy to the United States from the 1880s to the present, historians have rarely addressed the experience of the Molisani. Because the name of the current Region of Molise was submerged in that of Abruzzo, immigrants from Molise have consistently identified themselves as Abruzzese. Like all geographically-defined people, the Molisani deserve to have a distinct social and cultural history. The story of migrants from Molise and the impact of mass migration on the region in terms of lost population and transferred culture is a vital part of that history. The study that follows is a preliminary case study of the migration patterns and attitudes of a small sample of Chicago Italian Americans who originate from the village of Pizzone, Province of Isernia. It helps to explain not only the history of the migrants but that of the town from which they came. This impressionistic effort is based upon 10 selected oral history interviews, written responses to mailed questionnaires, a survey of the poetry and writings of Elio Santucci, and short published biographical information on two prominent labor leaders. Later additional research will concentrate on statistical and printed sources in Italy as well as additional Chicago source material. Pizzone is a small town 724 meters above sea level in the northeast corner of Molise near the borders of Abruzzo, Lazio, and Campania. Named for the characteristic large peak above the town, "Pizzone" is just a few kilometers from Castel San Vincenzo with whose inhabitants the Pizzonesi have had a great deal of interaction both in Italy and in Chicago.
