Oggetto del Rapporto Ambientale è la variante al Piano Regolatore, in località “Corsano”, per l’insediamento di una nuova zona e dei la realizzazione dei parametri urbanistici relativi, denominata Zona I - ambiti per interventi complessi, oltre alla riproposizione di una nuova piccola Zona C – di formazione di insediamenti edilizi strutturati; quale residua indicazione dello strumento urbanistico generale. Si vanno così in parte a riproporre le indicazioni urbanistiche che definivano la Zona I – Ambiti di interventi complessi – già sottoposta in sede di P.R.G. adottata con delibera del Consiglio Comunale n.56 del 29.12.2000 e poi stralciata dal Comitato Regionale Tecnico. La variante viene proposta come parte di un più ampio quadro programmatorio avviato dall’Amministrazione Comunale per conferire ordine e coerenza alle modalità d’uso del territorio, favorendo l’aggregazione delle destinazioni urbanistiche. L’Amministrazione comunale è da tempo impegnata dalla definizione e realizzazione di una adeguata zona industriale-commerciale sul proprio territorio. A questo scopo era stata individuata ed inserita nel variante generale al PRG adottata con delibera del Consiglio Comunale n.56 del 29.12.2000 ed approvata con delibera di Giunta Regionale n.324 del 30/06/2007, pubblicata sul BUR n.18 supplemento n.5, una ampia area denominata Zona I – Ambiti di interventi complessi, Sottozona I2 - a destinazione mista con presenza di strutture produttive ed agriturismo, in località Corsano/Valle Martella. Unitamente a questa era stato dato parere favorevole a due iniziative che presentavano piani integrati in variante al PRG, secondo la procedura promossa dall’ASP, su aree limitrofe a quella precedentemente indicata, ma che in sostanza avanzavano la medesima richiesta di destinazione d’uso. Nella stessa “Zona I – Ambiti di interventi complessi” si va a riprendere la destinazione di ZONA D, di formazione di insediamenti per attività economico produttive - Sottozona D1, destinata alla formazione di insediamenti di nuova localizzazione, con la stessa suddivisione in 40% attività commerciale e 60% attività artigianale. La superficie coinvolta dalla variante, in termini assoluti è di circa 1.308.576 mq. in questa quantità sono computati i fossi e la via Prenestina, il totale parziale è di 1.285.658 mq. L’approvazione definitiva della variante urbanistica ha visto la perdita della Zona I, nelle sue due localizzazioni ed in conseguenza, tutto il potenziale edificatorio dedicato a funzioni Industriale - Artigianale/Commerciale.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure.

You have in›uenced my diligence by your expressions of praise, both in your own name and in the names of your most learned friends (whom you also have in very large number). As a result, I feel that I am much more eager to pursue the investigation set forth on this subject; I would already have completed it had the abundance of waters from heaven not shown itself opposed to my own watery task. But you should not think that I have been completely idle: indeed, although I was not able to approach for a second time the sources of the Marcia and Claudia, at some distance from me, and not able therefore to follow up my ideas by surer rea- soning, not uselessly, perhaps, will I show you that I have been engaged in the more immediate neighborhood of that aqueduct introduced by Pope Sixtus and called the Acqua Felice from his own name before his ponti‹- 19 Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century: Raffaele Fabretti's De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae Harry B.

Theodore Peña, Chair This dissertation examines the evidence for burial in archaic Rome and Latium with a view to understanding the nature of urban development in the region. In particular, I focus on identifying those social and political institutions that governed relations between city‐ states at a time when Rome was becoming the most influential urban center in the area. I examine the evidence for burial gathered primarily from the past four decades or so of archaeological excavation in order to present first, a systematic account of the data and second, an analysis of these materials. I reveal that a high degree of variation was observed in funerary ritual across sites, and suggest that this points to a complex system of regional networks that allowed for the widespread travel of people and ideas. I view this as evidence for the openness of archaic societies in Latium, whereby people and groups seem to have moved across regions with what seems to have been a fair degree of mobility.

  • Volcanic Eruptions Damned the River with Deposits of Ash, Called Tuffs6
    volcanic eruptions damned the river with deposits of ash, called tuffs6, and changed its course. Both of the volcanic fields, the Sabatini to the northwest and the Alban hills to the southeast, played important roles in creating the terrain; plateaus pinching the Tiber floodplain and creating high ground for Rome (Heiken, Funiciello & De Rita, 2005:11). Despite the advantageous location, Rome is still susceptible to flooding due to the large drainage area of the Tiber. The climate from the end of the republic, throughout the years of the Empire, up to perhaps between 800 and 1200 A.D., was warmer and drier than later years. During the wet period between 1310 and 1320 A.D., and the so-called "little ice age" of 1500 to 1800 A.D., Rome was more susceptible to flooding (Lamb, 1995). This is perhaps a good thing, as repeated natural destruction of the city may have had a large influence on the superstitious Roman mind, providing "evidence" for the displeasure of the gods, and perhaps the resulting abandonment of the site. The Alban hills are approximately 50 kilometres in diameter with an elevation of nearly 1000 metres above sea level, and span the coastal plain between the Apennines and the sea. The summit is broad and dominated by a caldera, which has mostly been covered with material from later volcanoes. The slopes were once covered with oak, hazel and maple trees. Archaeolog- ical evidence from around the edges of the Nemi and Albano lakes indicate that the area has been occupied since the Bronze Age.

THE Via Latina forms the third portion of the description of the Classical Topography of the Roman Campagna, of which two parts have already appeared in these Papers (Via Collatina, Via Praenestina, and Via Labicana, i. 125 sqq.; Via Salaria, Via Nomentana, and Via Tiburtina, iii. 1 sqq.). The general remarks made in the introductions apply, in • the main, to the present portion also: and the preliminary matter may, therefore, be comparatively brief.

  • Its Famous Seven Hills, Stood on the East Bank, While
    8 PILGRIM’S ROME PILGRIM’S ROME 9 its famous seven hills, stood on the east bank, while west of the river was the district of Tr a n s t i b e r i m, the modern Trastevere, home to a community of Jews and, later, to Christians. From this dense heart, the arterial consular roads radiated out: the Via Salaria and Via Nomentana to the northeast; the Via Tiburtina and Via Praenestina to the east; the Via Aurelia to the west; and in the south the Via Ostiensis, leading to the port of Ostia, the great mouth via which the belly of Rome was fed with Alexandrian corn. It was close to this road, at Tre Fontane, that St Paul was martyred, and just beside it, under San Paolo fuori le Mura, that he now lies entombed. Those ancient roads still exist, or at least, modern roads do, that follow the ancient routes. The most famous of all the roads, still paved in sections with ancient basalt slabs, lies to the southeast: the Via Appia, site of the most cel- ebrated catacombs. It is along the Via Appia that St Paul arrived in Rome, and along the same road that St Peter tried to flee it. The road that leads north from the city, the Via Flaminia, preserves its straight lines within the centre as the Via del Corso, always filled with tra!c and pedestrians, and with famous landmarks on either side: the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain to the east and the Pantheon to the west.
