Project 3.1 Drawing up and running a programme to update the findings on architecture, with analysis of construction phases Description The locations in the network conserve the major Italian architectural evidence of the Longobard period, which in some cases constitutes a unique heritage for reconstructing the construction concepts of the time. Studies of these monuments is already widespread by very often they differ in terms of method and degree of detail, partly due to the time lapse between the various investigations carried out. New surveying and documentation techniques for structures now make it possible to think about a coordinated, homogenous programme of analysis that is able to produce data that can be compared and new elements for establishing the background of the monuments. These provide materials for creating three-dimensional reconstruction models, used to set up multi-media systems that will constitute elements of a database, connected with a computer platform on the Website. Actions 1. Check the status of documentation on every monument 2. Gather the data available 3. Draw up analysis programmes 4. Update findings and run new survey campaigns 5.

Project 3.2 Creating and running common programmes for analysing the characteristics of style, materials, and techniques used in works of artistic value Description The heritage in the network includes some of the most relevant works done not only in the Longobard realm, but in all artistic works of the Dark Ages. There are many links to be formed between the artefacts found in the various locations in the network, which is a sign of a common cultural matrix that can only be better understood by more wide-ranging analysis and comparison. For this reason, although these is an extensive series of studies in place, the plan is to promote new research to improve knowledge about art work in the period, in order to better understand not only the formal or aesthetic aspects but also, thanks to new survey methods, the material and technical characteristics of the works by means of adequate diagnostic investigation (see project 3.3 below), and new techniques for documentation that are also in able to provide materials for wider distribution. Some of the general topics to be studied in greater depth include: a) Stucco from the dark ages from Cividale, Brescia, and Spoleto, between East and West. The art of fresco painting in the Longobard age: Techniques and skills. b) Sculpture in the Longobard era: Artistic influences, materials, and execution techniques. c) Writing and producing codes.

Project 3.3 Coordination of diagnostic activities on monuments and heritage works Description A cognitive aspect closely related to the previous projects (3.1 and 3.2) is that related to the diagnosis methods for structures and material elements that make up the monuments and works of art from the Longobard period. The drawing up of common or coordinated diagnosis programmes for locations in the network will therefore make it possible to have homogenous data that can provide an accurate reconstruction of the methods used to produce the major works in the period, as well as to have an accurate picture of their state of conservation. This will also make it possible to create a database that can become a reference for all studies into art and architecture in the dark ages. These in-depth programmes will be able to count on organisational support from the Rocca Albornoziana Centre and Diagnostic Laboratory in Spoleto. Actions 1. Define a coordinate diagnosis programme for the heritage items in the network 2. Define data acquisition and organisation protocols. 3. Create a database 4.

following the route that over the centuries took them from Scandinavia to Italy. There is a lot of data about the Longobard presence in the central-northern European settlements, and also those immediately the other side of the Alps and along the Danube, in the ancient territories of Norico and Pannonia (which stretched over Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia), where they stayed in the decades immediately prior to their descent into Italy. Reconstructing this long route and their socio-cultural evolution, which can be done by analysing the material relics and existing documentation, is an essential opportunity for knowing about this people. Organising and checking the data gathered thus far, a lot of which related to research completed a number of years ago and which was not widely distributed beyond a limited group of specialists, may provide a very important basis for directing the activities of looking in greater detail and valorising the Longobard civilisation. Running such a project involves establishing agreements with institutions and operators in the various European countries involved, that deal with aspects related to research into the Longobards.

Project 6.1 Launch of further survey campaigns in order to implement knowledge on the site’s heritage Description An enhanced knowledge – also of the relative documentation – on the exceptionality of the architectural and artistic heritage of Cividale is fundamental to improve its use. The promotion of new cognitive surveys aimed at the improvement of existing data – sometimes incomplete or based on past analyses conducted with non-updated techniques – seems to be of paramount importance. In particular, further studies on building and decorative techniques and development phases of monuments are extremely interesting. In this context, new digital precision organic surveys, acting as a basis for the implementation of knowledge and enabling the planning and implementation of further analytical studies are planned. Surveys can be conducted through photogrammetric or laser-Scanning methods, or through vector and digital rendering. As to the Monastery, it is necessary to start from the survey of wall and plaster stratification (through targeted surveys) of the surfaces facing the cloister. This phase is needed to plan an overall systematic survey. The following actions are scheduled: a) Metric survey of the building stratification, descriptive survey of material of the Tempietto and the Monastery of Santa Maria in Valle (See Conservation Plan, Project 2.2; Enhancement Plan, Project 1.2, 1.7) b) Georeferenced metric survey and survey of the building stratification of the ancient Patriarchal Palace and other ruins discovered at the Provveditori Veneti Palace (Archaeological Museum) (See Conservation Plan, Project 5.1) c) Survey of the Font of Callisto and the Ratchis Altar (See Conservation Plan) Actions 1.

Project 6.2 Analysis and study of existing archaeological and historical documentation on Cividale Description There are numerous research and archaeological finds in Cividale. Not only there are investigations which date back to the 18th and 19th century, but also, especially in recent years, excavations have been carried out with modern methods. All documents and finds are

17 8.1 KNOWLEDGE PLAN DETAILED SCHEDULES therefore kept. Unfortunately, data have been analysed only partially or at preliminary phase. Their close examination is an important element for the reconstruction of the vicissitudes of the Site and for the improvement of enhancement and dissemination prospects. The objective is therefore to activate a new study on finds and excavation results carried out in the past in Cividale. In particular: in the area of the Duomo and the Patriarchal Palace (Provveditori Palace); in Piazza Paolo Diacono and near the Pietà Mount; in the Fornasaro estate; in the Roman Court; in the Julius Caesar Forum; in the San Francesco court; near the Craigher Canussio estate (ancient walls and towers). In addition to this, the census and analysis of the data concerning churches and monasteries of the city and surroundings are also planned. A cognitive in-depth study will provide material for the monographic publications on different topics in the context of the series “Archaeology in Cividale. Studies and research” , which will initially envisage the following topics: a) The area of the Episcopal complex from Roman to Modern times; summary of information and results of ancient and recent surveys in the area which includes the complex of the cathedral, the ruins of the Patriarchal Palace and some houses, dating from Roman and Medieval times which are now visible near the basement of the Provveditori Palace.

Project 6.4 Census on structures and existing data on walls, definition of remains’ properties Description The walls are a monumental element of the ancient urban area of Cividale. They have been subject to changes in use and the modern urban development of the town over time. The knowledge of the features which still remain today is therefore a fundamental aspect to understand some urban development trends and to achieve a better protection and conservation level for the remains. Up to now, some in-depth studies have been conducted on Cividale’s urban walls, yet with no systematic approach. It is therefore necessary to plan and systematically complete the census and the documentation of existing wall sections, through cataloguing and surveys to verify their belonging (See Conservation Plan). In this

Project 7.1 Planning and implementation of archaeological surveys in the Monastery of Santa Maria in Valle Description The area of Valle where the Monastery is located is one of the most important areas of Longobard Cividale: here the royal court was located, as well as the Gastaldo. The Church of San Giovanni and the Tempietto were founded in this context as buildings related to the royal court. Besides the Tempietto Longobardo, some sculptures of the 6th-7th century and some aristocratic tombs found in the 18th century in the Church of San Giovanni, there are no other data on the monumental development of the area and the Monastery during Longobard times. Only archaeological surveys will provide new elements so as to reconstruct and present to the general public the history of this crucial area of the town. Several archaeological surveys are directly linked to the interventions concerning the programme to enhance the monastery and to increase attendance to the Tempietto (see Enhancement Plan).

This is true also for Longobard necropolises: finding funerary accoutrements is fundamental to know the traditions, culture and habits of the Longobards and to measure their level of acculturation, also through anthropological analyses of skeleton remains. In Friuli many isolated tombs have been discovered. Since the place where they have been found is know, it would be important to reconstruct the cemeteries to which they belonged.

The whole architectural body speaks of all the changes the building went through. There are some elements which date back to the original plan and the phases of monumentalisation during Roman times which concerned the Abbey and other buildings, among which the bell tower. Other Medieval and post-Medieval structures enrich the central core. The knowledge on the various architectural phases will be improved thanks to the recovery of existing data and the promotion of new surveys with digital technology which stand as a basis for the stratigraphic reading of structural layers and for the creation of interpretation and reconstruction three-dimensional models aimed at the enhancement of the place (See Enhancement Plan).

Project 9.3 Carrying out of archaeological researches Description The ancient origin of the Abbey, founded in the Longobard period on pre-existing structures and its long history bequeathed an archaeological stratification of particular interest. Surveys which have been conducted up to now in the southern area of the abbey brought to light a secondary place of worship dating from Early-Medieval times. In the park, north of the abbey, where the cloister was located, some surveys proved the existence of a warehouse of great potential, relative to pre-existing structures.

Project 12.1 Study of the network of monastery properties of Santa Giulia within the Via Carolingia national project Description The city of Brescia was included in the Via Carolingia project, which was set up by the Ministry of Culture and Heritage and coordinated by the Regional Departments. The Via Carolingia project includes the study of the late Roman and mediaeval road axes as means of cultural transmission and valorisation of the historical and artistic testimonies along these routes of communication. The research is also aimed at architecture, settlement in the territory and the lifestyles of the late mediaeval populations. The territory involved in the project covers the provinces of Mantua, Brescia, Bergamo, Lecco and Como. Great importance has been given within the project to the larger metropolitan areas, and in particular, those that played a primary role in the power games (and economic) of those times, such as Brescia and Bergamo. Brescia in particular, with San Salvatore-Santa Giulia and its vast properties, must be considered a trade hub between the flatlands and the

Recently there was the project for the recovery of intrinsic data of some material recovered from various digs was resumed, among which: shapeless blocks of lead originating from a dwelling perhaps in a part used as a workshop; glass and iron waste from wells. It is thereby interesting to continue with this nature of research with the purpose of understanding how much domestic handcraft activity was not realised inside the castrum. Analysis of ceramic production b) Most of the remains in the dig were ceramics. In particular these were of communal production, linked to the social area in which analysis should be tackled both from the point of view of a formal and chronological serialisation and concerning the determination of the productive techniques and the area of origin and chronology through archeometric investigations Technical and stylistic analysis of the painted fragments in the castle area c) Among the remains conserved in the warehouse there are some fragments of fresco relative to the decoration of the particularly important areas of the settlement, probably the churches of the castrum, the study of which began at the time of the setting up works for the Antiquarium and it should be continued.

These analyses allow the examination of the development of building techniques and architectural typologies from the late antique period to1600 and to add new data on historical, artistic and social economic knowledge of the castrum and the territory to which it refers. They will then permit the clarification of the evolutionary phases of some monuments and specify their peculiarities. Foreseen is the realisation of: a) Diagnostic research and analysis on building materials, continuing with the sampling of building materials (mortar, plaster, paving, bricks and stones) and the analysis of the origin of the materials in progress for over twenty years and unedited in part. b) Analysis of the structural characteristics and building phases of the monuments c) Dendochronological analysis of some building apparatus of the main monuments of the castrum, (Santa Maria foris portas and the Torba tower) which preserve the original remains of wooden elements used as beams for the roof or door supports, the allocation of which could be very useful for defining time schedules and building phases d) Analysis of thermoluminiscence finalised at dating clay brick material from the walls of the monuments of the castrum Actions 1. Collection and memorisation of data on the material 2. Drafting of a programme of queries to be solved 3. Verification and adaptation of surveys or realisation of new surveys 4.

Project 18.3 Analysis of the constructive sequence of the Torba tower

Description The tower of Torba represents one of the most important testimonials conserved in the Langobardia maior of the late antique-Early medieval period. Its phases of transformation into a monastery represent a paradigmatic element of reuse of antique structures in the Early medieval. Analyses carried out on the monument have favoured the study of the Early medieval decorative apparatus which enrich it. However, still lacking are in-depth examinations of the Tower and on its building system, able to Highlight the technical characteristics and evaluative phases. Its time scale allocation is the fruit of hypotheses of interpretation and not based on certain data. For this reason a campaign of in-depth analysis is foreseen on the monument in order to reconstruct its story, integrating the existing documentation, surveys in particular, thanks to the use of the most innovative techniques (e.g. Laser scanning). It will then be useful also to start further archaeological surveys in the underground floor and near to the structure to define building techniques and specify its time schedule. Sampling and diagnostic survey of an archeometric nature on the binders and material will allow further knowledge of the building characteristics. Actions 1. Collection and memorisation of existing documentation 2. Verification and completion of surveys 3. Realisation of new photographic documentation (air photos and details) 4.

Project 19.1 Planning and execution of archaeological surveys in the castrum

Description Castelseprio was only dug in a minimum part and until now the digs have been of a truly limited nature, it is therefore considered necessary to foresee a research programme on a wide scale able to clarify the true extension and characteristics of the castrum habitation, the fortifications and its monuments, verify the function of each building and heightening knowledge of material culture, economy and the society in the site. Of extreme importance will be the archaeological research to be actuated inside the fortified area to identify the relationship between dwelling, monument and necropolis. It will be opportune to define a research programme following the analysis of existing documentation. Some contexts on which to develop research have already been identified

- Dig in the area accessing the castrum (access bridge and Castrum door) The elements relative to the access bridge and castrum door were Highlighted in the fifties of the last century. Partial dig essays, run in the early seventies have identified protostoric, late antique and medieval stratigraphies. Continuation of the surveys in particular between the pier of the bridge and the access door with expansion to the north side in the direction of the north-western section of the all could furnish further details on fortifying interventions of the Byzantine, Longobard eras and beyond.

Project 27.1 Launch an in-depth study of the Longobard phase of cloisters Description The project includes an in-depth archaeological survey to identify the cloister of Santa Sofia prior to the Romanic one – in line with the complex built at the behest of Arechi II – and the reconstruction of the chronological and artistic phases. Traces of this original cloister can be seen in the reuse of some “a stampella” capitals, with decorations in the form of geometric motifs, which was typical of the Lombard era. Other capitals were recovered from excavations of the cloister’s cistern. In addition to this, traces of another cistern were found that, due to its logical and structural aspects, could belong to a pre-existing cloister.

Project 28.1 Finishing and increasing urban archaeological excavations Description This action is consistent with the vision of local authorities that provides for sustainable development of the town and of its territory. It sees in the cultural heritage an important engine even for social and economic development. Action will be taken in various stages: · Inventory of new findings of Piazza Sabariani (medieval affrescos in a hypogeum of the age of the Duchy of Benevento) and of the Cathedral (mosaics and structures from Roman and Medieval times).

· Archaeological investigation of Piazza Piano del Corte near the Church of Santa Sofia that, given its place name, is indicated as the probable site of the Sacrum Palatium. The extent of the investigations in this area could provide new data on common dwelling construction in the Lombard period, about which little is currently known.

· Creation of an archaeological-monumental centre located between Piazza Orsini and the “Arco del Sacramento” where some of the most important relics of Roman and Medieval times are to be seen.

Project 28.2 Start a census and study of the “spolia” re-used in buildings in the old city Description The practice of stripping, as seen in Benevento, was introduced immediately by the Lombards and continued in subsequent centuries. In fact, already in the wall the Lombards rebuilt as soon as they reached Benevento, one finds construction materials from the Roman era being reused. And that’s not all, here and there in the defences one finds sculptural fragments from the classical era positioned especially at the gateways, that are carefully and sometimes tastefully positioned. The old city is also strewn with funerary sculptures, inscriptions, and architectural elements from the Roman age, built into the external facades of homes. These relics, which form a type of open-air museum, need to be organised to allow in-depth study and, at the same time, suitable restoration that makes it possible to use them.

Description During recent works in the Church of St Ilario in Port Aures some fragments of stucco were found that came from the internal decoration of the church. Upon initial examination, these stuccoes seemed to come from the time the building was constructed. This can also borne out by comparison that could be done with similar stuccoes from the Temple in Cividale del Friuli and the Church of S. Salvatore in Brescia. The project involves promoting and publishing specialist studies, as well as putting the finds in a museum, in order to increase knowledge about this decorative practice.

Project 29.1 Gather and organise all existing data and documentation on the GIS

Description Starting with the wealth of archaeological – architectural heritage, this system makes it possible to direct the actions required to the best knowledge, taking into account, based on the censused resources, all the data on the protective measures applied, state of conservation, interfering disturbing elements, and any other resources that can be related to these. The project will strive to take in the cataloguing and putting on the web of documentary and bibliographic sources, in order to create a Virtual Library covering the territories included in the UNESCO Site. “Planning and management the SIT system with the help of GIS software” involves: Creating a computer system fro acquiring / filing / editing data (databanks) on a GIS basis, in order to read geographical data on the relevant territory via the SIT (Territorial Computer System). The first phase will be to design the software model (database and GIS interface) and to experiment with the effectiveness of the database architecture, by entering territorial data associated with basic maps. The second phase involves translating all the data available on the wealth of cultural heritage, within the GIS system. The flexibility of the system will allow the software to be updated over time to meet needs that may arise from time to time as the wealth of knowledge increases. The basic actions to create the network therefore include activating a system for gathering and managing computerised data that involves the entire network of the serial Site, and reporting of information available on the heritage, documentary sources and studies available.

Project 29.2 Plan systematic analysis and research in the Territory Description The creation of an integrated system for cultural heritage, aimed at more in-depth and wider- reaching studies, also presupposes wide-ranging study campaigns on specific topics. In fact, the presence of Lombard culture over a large portion of the central-southern territory leads one to suppose that it had a significant influence on architectural and artistic works, and material culture in general. On the other hand, knowledge outside the City of Benevento is scarce. One may suppose that many settlements of medieval origin or older – located on the Highlands surrounding Benevento, along the main communication routes (Via Appia, Via Traiana, Regio Tratturo, etc.) – were strongly influenced by Lombard culture. It is therefore necessary to plan systematic analysis and research of the territory in order to bring to light these cultural influences and relate them to one another, including by using computerised cataloguing and geo-referencing tools (SIT).

Project 30.1 Realisation of other survey campaigns Description The exploitation of the Longobard Sanctuary requires an in-depth knowledge of its architectural and decorative structure. The promotion of new cognitive investigations aimed at improving existing data, sometimes incomplete of based on past analyses with outdated techniques, appears to be of extreme importance. In particular possible examinations regarding building techniques and phases are of great interest. With this objective, the realisation of a precise organic survey in digital format is foreseen which will permit the planning and realisation of further analytical examinations. The survey can be carried out with photogrammatic type methods or laser-Scanning, with rendering in vectorial and digital format. It is necessary to start from a survey on the stratification of the walls and the remains of frescos (with aimed probes) on the surface. This phase is introductory to the planning of a systematic total survey which includes metric measurement of the building materials. Actions 1. Survey project 2. Realisation of georeferenced metric and descriptive surveys 3. Analysis of building stratification 4. Rendering of data 5. Realisation of three-dimensional rendered models of the status quo 6.

Project 30.2 In-depth examination of historical research on the Longobard Sanctuary Description The research which has involved the Longobard Sanctuary dates back to archaeological digs in the fifties. Only in 1999 were other essays on digs carried out by some specialists from the Department of classic and Christian Studies of the University of Bari, which were aimed at identifying and describing burials id limina of the sanctuary. These findings witness how in the full Longobard era, when the sanctuary assumed a more complete structural form, the tombs were located inside the “Longobard gallery” and in the area in front of the facade. The documentation on these interventions is not homogeneous and is dispersed. The censoring and gathering of all known data and research on new data in the archives will constitute a fundamental moment for the knowledge on matters of the Longobard Sanctuary. Actions 1.

Project 30.3 Censoring of the structures and existing data on the walls, with definition of the property of the remains Description The walls constitute a monumental element of the ancient urban space of Monte Sant’Angelo which were involved over time in phenomena of re-use and modern urban development. Knowledge on the remaining sections therefore becomes a fundamental aspect for understanding some of the dynamics of urban development to obtain better protection and conservation of the remains. There are still now some examinations on the question of the urban walls but there is not yet a systematic approach. Foreseen therefore is the planning and completion of systematic censoring and the documentation on the existing sections of wall by means of categorisation and survey, with the verification of their ownership. At the end of this there will be a precious databank to be used both for conserving the walls and for valorisation, as well as favouring divulgation of the historical aspect to a wider public.

Project 1.1 Maintenance interventions with special reference to the presbytery

Description The first phase of maintenance of the Tempietto Longobardo aims at improving the state of conservation especially of one part of the Tempietto before starting the systematic planning of maintenance interventions of the whole complex. The part concerned is the Eastern wall – partially in the north wing – of the presbytery where traces of moisture are visible. It is necessary to identify the causes of moisture through the verification of both environmental conditions and surface, and the waterproof resistance of external walls in order to plan an intervention project to eliminate the causes and visible effects of deterioration. It is necessary to verify the state of conservation of the frescos on the eastern wall which are partially damaged. Consolidation operations should also be planned. This phase also includes interventions on the floor of the presbytery so as to improve its state of conservation especially regarding floor joints which are now missing.

Project 8.1 Completion of the restoration of the complex comprising the church and the former convent of San Francesco Description The church and the structure of the convent of San Francesco – property of the Parish Santa Maria Assunta in Cividale – were built in the 13th century and stand in a place rising vertically on the gorge of the river Natisone, where the popular tradition uses to indicate the presence of the “Castello dei Duchi” (Castle of the Dukes). During the centuries, and especially after the Napoleonic era, the complex (built on 3 levels) was used in a variety of ways, even if it kept its cult functions. In the inside the church and the convent preserve pictorial and stucco decorations of high artistic esteem, which witness – especially in the Sagrestia nobile – the high level and the prestige of the Franciscan community. The San Francesco complex – which is part of the buffer zone - has never been extensively researched from an archaeological point of view, but it has suffered damages in the earthquake of 1976. The restoration works have been carried on slowly because of the progressive availability of funds. The structure is destined to keep its religious functions, but its use also as a place for meetings, congresses, seminars and exhibitions is now consolidated.

Project 10.1 Maintenance measures for plastered walls and masonry pertaining to the southern side of the Monastery and Santa Maria in Solario Description The property involved in the intervention refers to the entire south front of the monastery and also includes the south side of the Romanesque Santa Maria in Solario. 80% of the surface of the side is covered by lime plaster that was realized at the beginning of the 1980’s, while the profile masonry on the remaining 20% is visible along with a few pieces of plaster painted during Late Middle Ages phase of the monastery. Due to the atmospheric pollution but primarily to traffic pollution, the modern plaster is in a state of deterioration: the plaster has lost its characteristic compactness and in several points is severely flawed and pulverulent. Even the large stone blocks in Santa Maria in Solario show signs of severe deterioration on the surface, with chipping and cracking. The lower part of the stone wall, moreover, shows evidence of black crusts, caused by vehicular traffic in the vicinity. The intervention to be carried out calls for an initial diagnostic phase in order to correctly understand the factors that contributed to the deterioration, followed by a second phase to identify the proper methods to be used in order to preserve the Late Middle Ages masonry. During this phase a portion of the masonry with modern plaster will be removed in order to verify the conditions of the original masonry and to evaluate whether or not all of said plaster should be removed with the consequent restoration of the underlying masonry or whether it should be kept in place after the surfaces have been cleaned and consolidated.

Actions 1. Diagnostic awareness surveys 2. Trials for removing modern lime plaster to be carried out on a portion of the wall, to be agreed upon 3.

Project 14.3 Conservation interventions on the roofing and Early middle ages painted plaster in Palazzo Broletto Description In 2004 the Province and the City, owners of the property, entered into an understanding, aimed at equalizing the measures promoted by the two Administrations, especially with respect to the restoration of the building facades. With respect to activities promoted by the City of Brescia through the Building & Monument Service, starting from 2003 a series of measures were implemented to restore certain portions of the building. Certain works have already been concluded, others are underway, while still other projects are in the development phase and included in the three-year 2007-2009 program for public works. In general, these refer to measures required to guarantee the proper conservation of the monument, through a series of steps aimed at blocking the deterioration and to enhancing the unchanged conservation over time.

Actions For various reasons (economic but also operating), the conservation maintenance will need to be divided in at least two subsequent phases: 1. the first, subject to the present intervention, will naturally cover all those operations that can be carried out with the structure open to the sky and that can no longer be

Project 14.4 Conservation interventions on the roofing of Mastio Visconteo within the Castle of Brescia Description Building located in the top part of the Castle of Brescia and constructed in 1343 (Visconti era) above the remains of a Roman temple, of which at the present time the staircase and certain perimeter walls are visible. The City of Brescia acquired the property in 1900 from the Military Property Office. It underwent restoration between 1968/1974 that, once recent plaster had been removed, made it possible to recover a goodly part of the Visconti era wall decorations and those dating back to the 14 th century. The building is composed of four floors. One lower ground floor, not open to the public, preserves Roman era structures (large tubs from local stone quarries). The ground floor and the first floor at the present time are dedicated to the Museum of Arms. The second floor is used as storage space for historical material belonging to the museum. These measures on the roofing are necessary in order to guarantee the correct conservation of the monument: in fact water leakages caused damages to the historical material stored in the attic and to the painted decorations dating back to the Late Middle Ages. Moreover, since the roof was not caulked properly it did not offer the proper micro-climate suitable for conserving the above-indicated artifacts.

Measures 1. Realization of scaffolding and uncovering certain areas of the roofing 2. Caulking, waterproofing and repositioning the roof tiles 3. Maintenance and restoration work on the parts of the painted plaster that were damaged by leakage Parties involved City of Brescia Phases and timeframe By 2008 Financial resources Cost of the intervention € 150.000,00 borne by the City of Brescia Expected results Improvement of the conservation conditions and of the aesthetic aspects of the building Result indicators 400 square meters of surface subjected to intervention

Objective 16 PREVENTION AND MITIGATION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS FOUND IN THE TERRITORY

Project 16.1 PRIM – Regional integrated program for mitigating risks Description The new Regional Integrated Program for Mitigating Risks (PRIM) 2007-2010 represents the instrument to coordinate the policies for safety and prevention on a provincial level. Conceived as an evolution of the Regional Program for Forecasting and Prevention pursuant to national law 225/92 on civilian protection, the PRIM is aimed at calling more attention to the aspects of mitigating risks and, principally, at a wider and more global vision of safety, which is the basis of the needs of citizens. The PRIM takes into consideration five “significant risks”, natural and technological, (hydro-geological, seismic, forest fires, meteorological, industrial), two types of accidents due “with significant social impact” (automobile accidents and accidents in the workplace) and the risk represented by social unrest that refers to the context of urban safety. With respect to these risks the PRIM will conduct a scientific reading not just sectorial but also integrated, in order to photograph the real situation and to identify those areas subject to a combination of risks and to propose policies to reduce risks. Actions Analysis of the information collected referring to 108 measures to mitigate risks made known by 21 local agencies in the various contexts: 1. 56 measures concerning “hydro-geological and flood risks” 2. 3 measures concerning “seismic risks” 3. “x” measures concerning “meteorological risks” 4. 6 measures concerning “risks from forest fires” 5. 6 measures concerning “urban safety risks” 6. 33 measures concerning “automobile accident risks” 7. 2 measures concerning “industrial risks and dangerous transports” 8. 2 measures concerning “risks of accidents in the work place”. Parties involved Lombardy Region Also: Province of Brescia, Mountain Communities, Municipalities. Phases and timeframe Different for each project included in the program to develop tourism. It is estimated that the project will be completed before the end of 2010. Financial resources The total investment amounts to € 71 million. The Lombardy Region has contributed € 35 million and the other subjects € 11 million. The rest will come from national and EU resources. Expected results Share the measures to reduce risks with the principal subjects involved in prevention and with consumer associations, in order to provide visibility and unity to the numerous actions. See the risks in an integrated manner and develop area plans for the selected territories, in order to evaluate the joint impact of more than one source of risks in the same area. Evaluate the impact of the risk-prevention measures by means of the application of a scientific method based on indicators for effectiveness. Finance strategic interventions through the opportunities provided by the EU 2007-2010 funds. Create a computerized information pool so that the various agencies involved in the Safety Pact can exchange information. Result indicators Fewer real and perceived social risks, sensation motivated by increased safety, control of the potential risk situations by effective preventive monitoring

Project 16.2 Works to make the road s.s. 45 BIS “Gardesana occidentale” safe Description The project relates to ensuring safety along the road from Limone to the border with Trentino and the realization of the natural gallery in the Nanzel area refers to a section of the artery that extends for approximately 3.5 kilometers, subject to periodic episodes of falling rocks, which require fencing and buttressing, in order to guarantee transit along the strategic artery towards the north of this important road. The realization of the natural gallery in the Nanzel area, situated between kilometer 10.200 and kilometer 10.900 of the Gardesana Occidentale, will provide a definitive solution to one of the most critical parts of that artery, due to the frequency of slides and due to the possibility of falling rocks and boulders from the rocky walls above the artery. Actions 1. Identification of the priority measures and the definition of the general program 2. Commencement of the cycle of measures in temporal succession with the relevant program agreements. Parties involved ANAS s.p.a. Also: Province of Brescia, Mountain Community Parco Alto Garda Bresciano. Phases and timeframe It would be advisable that the measures, in order not to compromise transit along the artery, be realized in temporal succession. It is estimated that the work will be completed before the end of 2011. Financial resources The total investment estimated amounts to € 34 million, borne by ANAS s.p.a. Expected results Safety and for this important western Lake Garda coast road heading north, fewer cases of continuous interventions that slow traffic due to the constant danger of frequent slides. A long-lasting, stable and effective solution. Result indicators Driving safely, without any problems or interruptions, from Limone towards the north, as far as the border with Trentino, of the important western coast artery of Lake Garda.

Project 17.1 Maintenance plan and works for the surfaces of the Church of Santa Maria foris portas Description Conservation work was carried out on the Church of S. Maria foris portas at the end of the 1990s on all wall structures. This also included refurbishing the roof and rainwater systems, as well as creating a chemical barrier against rising damp. Previously, in the 1950s the apse walls, which are home to famous frescoes had also been the subject of work to combat damp, which is still fully effective. The project involves creating a maintenance programme that makes it possible to monitor the state of conservation of the Church, especially the frescoes. This programme will be based on carrying out descriptive surveys of the materials, stratographic analysis of the plaster and frescoes, and analytical investigations to characterise the materials (see Knowledge Plan). Actions 1. Carrying out surveys and analytical investigations 2. Drawing up a maintenance programme 3.

Project 18.3 Conservation work on the Church of S. Paolo Description As part of the Project: “Recovery of the archaeological area of the Castrum of Castelseprio”, initially drawn up in 2003, provision is made for conservation restoration of the hexagonal Church of S. Paolo, which dates back to the 11th century, and that has many pieces of the ground floor walls missing, the only floor remaining. This building, built of pebbles and pieces of stone in fairly regular courses, with fishbone inserts, still has half-columns at the corners of the walls made of brick and travertine limestone.

Currently, the church is a ruin and the walls are still standing around the internal core, with outer walls built of properly dressed stone blocks and pebbles laid regularly (some fishbone courses), and a chaotic inner core made of undressed pebbles, with a significant amount of mortar. The collapse of large sections of the walls has revealed the inner core that is Highly detached on the surface, which has caused individual lithic elements to fall in many sections.

So far the walls have undergone general cleaning, which made it possible to see that the surface detachment does not only affect the stones at the surface, directly exposed to the weather, but also the inner stones to a total depth of 40 – 50 cm from the surface. Experimental work has therefore been done, of injecting grout into the worse detached part of the south-west wall (the only one that retains traces of the upper floor) to check the state of the inner walls and to stabilise subsequent consolidation works. Samples have also been taken of mortar and plaster to gain greater knowledge of the materials used at the time. Actions 1.

Project 24.1 Creation of a Centre of Excellence for the recovery of Cultural Heritage in case of a disaster Description In Spoleto, a regional Centre of Excellence for the recovery of Cultural Heritage in case of emergency is now being created, as a point of reference for the entire territory of Umbria. The structure is composed by a shed – almost entirely built – in the industrial area of Santo Chiodo, in the vicinity of the municipal warehouse for works of art thus creating a department for the protection and conservation of the cultural heritage. The operation benefitted from the assistance, also economic, of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Civil Protection Department), the Region Umbria and Confindustria. The Centre will be used to collect any kind of paintings, sculptures, prints, books, textiles and artistic artefacts of any kind which are in an emergency condition due to earthquakes, floods, fires, static problems of the buildings where they are placed, etc. It is the only structure created in the Region Umbria for this kind of emergencies and was designed according to technological and logistic criteria adjusted to the type of properties and activities which will be carried out. In particular, it has a total surface of 3600 m2, of which 70% at full height (around 7.5 m) and 30% at double height. The internal division envisages a warehouse of around 1900 m2, a file archive and a photographic archive, the management offices, a secretariat, a meeting hall, a locker room for employees, an area for the guardian, a garage and various services.

Description In Spoleto the Cultural Heritage Diagnostic Lab, housed in the Rocca Albornoziana in the frame of the 2004 Accordo di Programma Quadro APQ (agreement between State and Region concerning territorial strategic planning), is about to become operational. This Laboratory is equipped with innovative methodologies and techniques for the diagnostics of damages and risks, for first aid and conservation of cultural heritage. The competent institutions for the Laboratory and the stakeholders of the Longobard network are defining agreements aiming at making this structure the reference centre for seismic risk and diagnostic studies on the Longobard heritage, not only for the monuments of the "Duchy of Spoleto", but also for those of the entire Italia Langobardorum network. Data Archives concerning techniques and materials used in different types of Longobard artefacts (from architecture to sculptures, paintings etc.) and collecting all the information obtained through studies, researches and inquiries all over Italy, could be created in this Centre, in collaboration with CISAM (Italian Centre of Studies on Early-Middle Ages), situated in Spoleto. The Archives, that could manage data on the conservative operations implemented or to be implemented on the same heritage, could be extended in the future to a larger network including all Italian and European sites that have been characterized by the Longobard presence.

Project 29.1 Maintenance and conservation improvement of the Church of Santa Sofia Description The city’s attention to its cultural heritage is expressed in the numerous programmes and works in recent decades, which have aimed both to improve the physical state and to valorise the numerous emergencies related to the monuments concentrated in the old city. Thanks to the Integrated Project “Benevento: The future in history” widespread redevelopment and modernisation of the infrastructure of the city has begun, and has already produced significant results in terms of the state of conservation of assets. The project forms part of a strategy of valorisation and coordinated management of Assets, which will see the signing of a specific Protocol of Intent by the Bodies responsible for identifying common rules for how to maintain use of the Church as a place of worship that is also useable and accessible for tourist purposes (see valorisation plan). The Santa Sofia complex, which has already been the subject of maintenance restoration, will be subjected to programmed maintenance, necessary due to wear resulting from its use as a place of worship. The maintenance work, in the form of a project by the BAPPSAE Superintendency of Caserta and Benevento, will involve cleaning the stone surfaces inside, and the plaster sections and external decorations of the church structure. In addition, the floor will be refurbished, having been laid during the restorations in the 1950s by Arch Rusconi and now deemed not compatible with the monument’s image, the carrying out of archaeological investigations, and upgrading of the lighting system.

Project 30.2 Maintenance work on the Longobard boundary wall Description The Benevento buffer zone includes relics of Longobard material culture that is unique, and so the Municipality of Benevento intends implementing actions to valorise the same. In relation to the Wall of the Longobard town, which has already undergone maintenance restoration, completion of the task is planned in the form of programmed maintenance. The city wall that surrounded the ancient medieval Longobard city is in a reasonable state of conservation. The buffer zone does not fully coincide with the area of the ancient wall, but only in some parts of its layout to the east of the town, below the Trescene quarter, along Via del Pomerio as far as the Ark of Traiano and continuing along the River Calore. From the end of the 18th century to the start of the 20th century, the walls were subject to demolition works and in some parts they were included in the outside walls of civil dwellings. (Via Torre della Catena). Further damage and destruction were caused by bombardment in 1943.

The part of the wall that is best preserved, thanks in part to conservation refurbishing work done by the Superintendency in the 1990s is the part that coincides with the perimeter of the buffer zone and that demarcates the ancient Trescene quarter. This part of the wall does not require maintenance work.

Other problems are involved for the stretch of the wall to the north-west of the town, from the Arch of Traiano to the Bridge on the River Calore, and then from Port Arsa, along Via Torre della Catena, to the convent of the Ursuline Sisters. This stretch also includes a lot of circular towers and square towers, almost all of which are well preserved. The main conservation problem is the decay due to the presence of shrubs, scrub, and roots that have got into the fabric of the walls, the decay of the mortar, subsequent damage to the wall itself and thus the infiltration of rainwater. The small circular tower on Via Torre della catena, which was an important medieval fortification, requires static consolidation work (cleaning out and injection of mortar) since it was badly damaged by bombing during the war. Work currently in progress (2006-2007) involves maintenance work on the entire section of the wall not yet refurbished, with financing from POR CAMPANIA scale 5, as part of the Integrated Programme. This work includes removing weeds by hand, careful picking away of the plaster, treatment with disinfectant biocides, refurbishing of the alignment of the cappings on the wall creating sacrificial surfaces, closing of the holes passing through, consolidating the joints, building small sections of boundary wall, cleaning the stone elements used as construction elements in the wall at a number of points.

Project 31.1 Municipal incentives for eco-sustainable refurbishing in the old city Description Building refurbishing in an eco-sustainable manner is a matter that is currently important to and applied by the contemporary building world. This becomes an arduous challenge with applied to historical dwellings. In Benevento, refurbishing and valorisation of the old city has thus far been undertaken in the form of various restoration works, conservative refurbishing, and health and functional upgrading, without any intention to take action in terms of the eco- sustainability of the works done. In addition to regulating building redevelopment works (mainly renovation, refurbishing, and restoration), the city’s administration intends involving the citizens in being aware of the importance of doing these works in a sustainable way in their old city. Thus it intends providing incentives for those that intend to retrieve properties, guaranteeing the use of techniques that reduce the pollutant impact and reducing wastage of raw materials. This action relates to parts of the minor historical building fabric, mainly with a private residence function, within the Longobard city wall in Benevento, where one can still see the signs of abandonment following seismic events and damage caused during the second world war. The incentives offered for sustainable recovery that the Benevento Municipality will propose to private citizens for the retrieval of their heritage dwelling and property is in the form of a reduction in municipal tax, for a period of five or ten years for example, provided they undertake to do the work adopting the Municipal Bio-construction Regulations (using alternative sources of energy, construction products with a low environmental impact, and reducing water consumption).

Project 32.1 Programme for periodic monitoring of the state of conservation of the archaeological areas Description In recent years the Benevento Municipality has started many works to refurbish the old city. These have brought to light the quality and quantity of significant archaeological sites that it includes. For example, as part of the implementation of the Integrated project for the City of Benevento (financed with EU funds), important discoveries were made when rendering Corso Garibaldi a pedestrian area and redeveloping Piazza Sabarini. Other unexpected finds came about during the works to replace the flooring inside the Cathedral. The presence of such cultural resources was stressed in the debate promoted by the Benevento Municipality in 2005 about the peri-urban archaeological area of Cellarulo - the river port from Roman times, amphitheatre with gladiator school, and the cellarium, which had already been the subject of attention for years – the major speakers at which were the competent Superintendencies in the territory. This monitoring will take the form of video surveillance and periodic inspections of the sites by specialist personnel, the Superintendencies, and the Municipality. Monitoring will be managed using a GIS system that will also make it possible to compare the state of conservation of the sites at various times.

Project 33.1 Setting up a building school focussing on restoration as part of a restoration network Description Along with the processes of conserving and valorising the cultural assets in the city and territory, it is useful to launch actions to raise the level of knowledge of the operators of various kinds, involved in working on the cultural and environmental heritage. Professional training has become a necessity, both because it shortens learning time and because training enriches the tradition of new theoretical and practical knowledge required for technical and economic development. This does not relate only to operators, but also to middle and High-ranking technical personnel, which today are more and more important for correct, economic management of sites and companies. The building restoration school will implement the most useful cultural and professional connections - Universities, Superintendencies, and Local Bodies, at both a national and a European level. This training activity must concentrate on three goals: 1. Qualification of retrieval and restoration skills. 2. Qualification of complex operating tasks (operating and maintenance of operating machinery). 3. Qualification of normal trades (carpenters, blacksmiths, etc.) of which there is a numerical lack on the local market. The school may also promote the setting up of an Innovation Centre dedicated to research in the area of restoration of architectural assets, a network that can create virtual links between research centres at public bodies and university institutes, industry, and companies operating in the sector. The prime objective is to produce certifications that are valid throughout Europe for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses that work in the sector of restoring cultural assets.

Project 34.1 Drawing up a plan to mitigate the seismic risk Description In Benevento there have been seismic monitoring activities for the urban area with a view to studying the effects on the site since 2000, as part of the three-year GNDT (National Earthquake Defence Group) project “Traiano: Project for estimating and reducing the Vulnerability of the Built-up Environment”. The results of these surveys were generally positive in that they found an absence of phenomena of amplification of the seismic movement in the old city. On the other hand phenomena of amplification, and therefore of greater risk, were found in the Sabato River Valley and the south-western sector of the old city. The question of protecting areas that are characterised by human presence and the concentration of properties that are most vulnerable must be dealt with in terms of an overall organic framework that is first cognitive and then regulatory. For the second aspect, the plan is to draw up a plan to mitigate the risk that gives particular consideration to the old city. The action involves Drawing up a Plan, starting with a census of information on the seismic vulnerability of the historical buildings and architectural emergencies, to arrive at seismic micro-zoning and the identification of measures to mitigate and/or reduce the risk to people and assets. This action can be taken on completion of the activities carried out as a result of the Campania Regional Law N° 26/02 “Standards and incentives for valorising old cities in Campania and for cataloguing Environmental Assets of a landscape nature. Amendments to Regional Law N° 3 of 19th February 1996” especially for the activities of scheduling the urban heritage of the old city.

Project 35.1 Training courses in civil protection for cultural heritage Description The Benevento Municipality intends working with environmental associations at a national and international level, to implement training activities for volunteers for protecting cultural and environmental assets, with particular attention being given to the risks related to calamities (earthquakes, floods). Great public pressure often results in a risk of decay of the cultural assets spread around the centre of the cities. In addition to voluntary vandalism, it is often unawareness and incorrect use of assets that increases the risk of decay and damage. In these events the voluntary organisations and forces of law and order concentrate on dozens of aspects, but nobody looks at safeguarding cultural assets. One can think about forging conventions to make volunteers available for exceptional manifestations, for tasks of surveillance of strategic points and notifying the forces of law and order of acts of vandalism, dissuading and explaining to citizens the risks related to improper use of cultural assets, and to valorise and make people aware of the minor assets in the city. Training courses for safeguarding the cultural heritage against natural risks are made up of two types of activity: Making moveable assets safe and recording damage to immovable assets.

The route along the “Via” is scattered with remains of votive chapels, xenodochia, and stopping places with wells. Over time, some of these places have become famous abbeys (like San Giovanni in Lamis in Puglia, now the Convent of San Matteo and San Leonardo of Siponto), others have been developed as urban centres (San Giovanni Rotondo and Monte Sant’Angelo). Ruins and scattered traces have been conserved pf others, and of some only the place name has survived, shown on old geographic maps. The project envisages the setting up of a monitoring service for monumental assets and archaeological areas for the purpose of both periodic maintenance of the same, and for surveillance for security purposes. This monitoring will take the form of video surveillance and periodic inspections of the sites by specialist personnel, the Superintendencies, and the Municipalities in whose territory the assets lie.

Project 38.3 Maintenance programme and start-up of cycle of interventions

Description The Sanctuary is made up of a complex of buildings realised in different phases, built around the central fulcrum constituted by the cave. Their formulation and stratification imposes intervals of monitoring on the static hold of supporting structural elements, to be carried out using suitable tools, in order to prevent the occurrence of critical conditions following possible seismic events. Planning the monitoring will allow each structural component to be kept under control continuously over time. The data will be collected and memorised also on a computer and managed in order to consent the planning of conservation in short times. Moreover, the chalkstone which constitutes the predominant building material of the sanctuary is subject to disintegration in some parts. This process constitutes one of the main threats to the site above all in relation to the documentary value of the inscriptions on the walls. Already in the past, even if without much success, the owner of the candidate asset intervened to reduce this phenomenon. Now a more careful mapping of the area of risk is imposed together with the search for technological solutions in order to preserve this heritage. On the basis of surveys made, the plan is to set up a maintenance programme which allows the identification of priorities for intervention and actuation times. The objective is to realise maintenance even for small lots, but continuous over time. Actions 1. Mapping of the structures to undergo systematic monitoring

Project 38.6 Monitoring and conservation plan of the inscriptions on the wall structures, internal and external Description After the digs uncovered locations of the Longobard era, dedicatory and Runic inscriptions of inestimable documentary value were discovered on the most ancient walls which constitute the most wide and important corpus of medieval inscriptions. All the structures of the sanctuary are characterised by the presence of true inscription programmes and symbols scratched onto the stone. The necessity to take every precaution for documentary survey and conservation of these inscriptions therefore imposes the activation of an effective monitoring system for the retaining wall surfaces, subjected to different environmental conditions according to their location. It is also necessary to make casts of the most important inscriptions in order to ensure secure evidence. Actions 1.

Project 39.1 Research on existing data on past restorations and computer-based memorisation of the same Description The complex of the Sanctuary includes a series of minor buildings dedicated to cult and not. These are the: a) CHURCH MADONNA DELLA LIBERA b) CHAPEL DI S. LUCIA c) CHAPEL DI S. ROCCO d) MONASTERY e) EX ORPHANAGE ROOMS The current state of conservation of these buildings is generally good. Recent maintenance carried out during works for the 2000 Jubilee have also determined the solution of some structural criticalities which still require careful monitoring and consequent planning of conservation. The maintenance programme should follow the anamnesis of the state (of conservation) of the considered buildings. This will lead to the systematic collection of data relative to past restorations to identify which problems came up over time and how they were solved (techniques of intervention and materials used), also to contribute to the description of parts of the buildings which cannot be surveyed. In parallel, it is necessary to identify and acquire all the study-analysis carried out on the state of conservation of the asset to contribute to its correct definition. The set of data must be archived on a computer using a specific dedicated programme. These are the same actions programmed for the Sanctuary and explained in Objective 2. Actions 1.

Project 1.1 Creation of “Longobard Itineraries”: Places of Worship – Necropolises – Settlements Description The Site’s heritage is the Highest expression of Longobard civilisation. The creation of stronger connections between these assets by identifying integrated, privileged routes will facilitate their valorisation. In Italy there are also other traces of the Longobard presence, made up of remains of settlements, places of worship, necropolises, and museum collections of artefacts that can contribute to better understanding of this people’s culture. Putting this evidence in the network and creating specific visitor routes on a wider territorial scale will make it possible to obtain a wider knowledge of Lombard civilisation. Actions 1. Identification of places to be added to Lombard itineraries. 2. Drawing up agreements with interested institutions and bodies in the various areas. 3. Creating itineraries and routes. 4. Creating specific bulletin board for the itineraries. 5. Creating instructive and scientific multi-media materials on the itineraries and on themes that link the various locations. 6.

ENHANCEMENT PLAN Network Objective 1 EXTENDING RELATIONS BETWEEN LOCATIONS IN THE NETWORK AND OTHER ITALIAN LOMBARD SITES

Project 1.2 Creation of a network of “Longobard Monasteries in Italy” Description Monasteries founded by the Longobard are the principal places of worship and centres of power from the Lombard age. They represent the Highest expression of their civilisation still to be found and contain most of the assets of greatest historical, artistic, and architectural value. Many of the assets in the Site network’s heritage come from monasteries (in Cividale, Brescia, Castelseprio Torba, and Benevento). Many of the initiatives proposed on the management plan relate to extending knowledge about and valorising these monasteries that, in some cases, involve structures of similar importance in the territory in which they belong (see Valorisation Plan for Cividale, Objective 4; valorisation Plan for Cividale, Project 9.3; Knowledge Plan for Brescia, Project 2.1). Actions 1. Censusing and scheduling the Lombard monasteries and their assets 2. Drawing up agreements with interested institutions and bodies in the various areas. 3. Including in the network and creating itineraries and routes that are dedicated to them in the various areas. 4. Creating specific bulletin boards. 5. Producing scientific and informative multi-media material 6. Creating a specific space in for the network on the Website.

Reconstruction of this route can come about, in addition to improving knowledge about the traces conserved (see Knowledge Plan for the Network), by creating theme itineraries linking the various locations in order to allow in-depth study of various aspects of the Lombard tradition and better use of the traces kept. Actions 1. Identifying and censusing the locations to be included in theme itineraries 2. Drawing up of bilateral or multi-lateral agreements with countries affected by the routes. 3. Creating itineraries and routes. 4. Creating specific bulletin boards. 5. Producing scientific and informative multi-media material 6. Creating a specific space in for this area on the Website. Parties involved Stakeholders: Institutions and bodies in European countries covered by the itineraries Phases and timeframe As from 2010 Financial resources To be found among financing programmes from the European Community (Cultural Programme 2007-2013; Interreg …).

The aim of the study is: a) to decide whether it is possible to carry out some work in phases (e.g. the creation of the Monastery and Temple Museum) before starting planning of the renovation of the entire complex; b) checking the relationship between the work required to adapt the complex to its new functions and the potential of the Monastery space in order to reduce modifications of the structure and type to a minimum. Agreements must be drawn up between the various institutions who will be involved in creating the Cultural Centre before any action is taken.

ENHANCEMENT PLAN Cividale del Friuli site Objective 3 UPGRADING OF MONASTERY OF SANTA MARIA IN VALLE AND INCREASE OF DEGREE OF ENHANCEMENT OF LONGOBARD TEMPIETTO

Project 3.2 Improvement work on Longobard Tempietto Description To increase the current enhancement level of the Temple, and depending on the upgrading of the entire monastery of Santa Maria in Valle site, it is necessary to modify and expand the access system for the Monastery and Temple, in order to create visiting routes that aim at better possibilities of appreciating the monuments. The projects will be carried out in three phases. The first phase foresees the creation of a new entrance for the Monastery itself and for the Longobard temple, extending the route from Via Monastero Maggiore through the San Giovanni courtyard and also reaches some important areas of the Monastery. The work includes both maintenance work on the surfaces (plaster, windows, and floors) and work to set up the new access system to the Temple, including the extension of the lighting and safety systems. Access from Via Monastero Maggiore will also allow disabled persons to enter the temple, who will be able to enjoy a part of the Temple without entering the hall, with the opening on request of the antique wooden door that leads to the cloisters.

Description of work foreseen in first phase

A second phase foresees the creation of a visiting route for the upper floors of the

183 8.3 ENHANCEMENT PLAN DETAILED SCHEDULES

Monastery, which will provide visibility of the temple's exterior walls with relative frescoes. The stairs to the upper floors will be checked for this purpose, with the route being bordered by partition walls and the creation of a surveillance system. A third phase will involve the planning and creation of access to the entire Ursuline Vegetable Garden, the position of which, compared to the Monastery, the Longobard temple and the River Natisone is of enormous interest in the town. After archaeological survey a flooring system will be created (green or paved differently) that will allow this space to be identified from the entrance from the Temple Courtyard.

Project 8.1 Definition of wall visiting routes

Description

Hypotheses for the organisation of wall visiting routes

The wall system of Cividale includes the urban ring that formed the boundary of the town in the Roman Era and in the Early Middle Ages and the ring that forms the boundary of the four villages. The ruins of the walls from the first ring can currently only be seen in some parts of the town - as archaeological traces and as stretches incorporated into later constructions - while its possible development is documented by both the historical sources and by the digs carried out in various periods. The second ring- that of the villages - instead, has been preserved in rather long stretches and is mainly elevated. The wall visiting route has the following goals to achieve: a) Identify all visible parts of the first ring of wall and the beginning of a route that allows the direction of the circuit to be understood (table 7); b) For the village walls, identify the most important segments from the point of view of construction characteristics and of the best visibility conditions (table 7);

192 8.3 ENHANCEMENT PLAN DETAILED SCHEDULES

c) Identifying areas where panels explaining the history of the walls can be positioned; d) Organise a guided tour programme that allows access to parts of the walls now part of private property. It is also necessary to plan and create specific illustrative brochures of the walls’ history and educational panels to be placed in various areas along the route. Actions 1. Designing and identification of the routes for the town and village walls 2. Organisation of a guided tour programme including entrance to private property. 3. Creation of illustrative brochures. 4.

Project 8.2 Identification of improvement work for the visibility and use of the walls Description There are some contexts in the urban and village walls circuit that have various types of potential for enhancement. These are parts that need archaeological digs to bring to light the direction of the Roman and Early Middle Ages walls (Fortress - 2); parts where pedestrian paths can be created to help visibility of walls (car park North Building Area – 1) or where recently built additions can be removed (3a). Two parts are especially interesting: the part relating to the urban wall circuit, brought to light at the base of Palazzo Craigher Canussio that could be improved by expanding the exhibition space with an exhibition of the dig findings and by the creation of appropriate educational panels; the stretch corresponding to the Brossana village walls, the only village where it is possible to see the direction of the defence system without interruption. The creation of a view – or a partial possibility for access to the courtyards – next to the Church of San Biagio (15) would allow the use of this system and the enhancement of the entire square in front of it. Actions 1. Work on the fortress with digs (see Knowledge Plan forms) and relative arrangement of the area. 2. Arrangement of green area at the Edil Nord Area car park. 3. Expand use of ruins at Palazzo Craigher Canussio with creation of new educational equipment and extension of exhibition after completion of dig data (see Knowledge Plan). 4.

Project 16.1 Recovery project of the archaeological area of Capitolium Description The project consists of furthering knowledge regarding the archaeological area of Capitolium of Brescia, its completed archaeological and architectural restoration, its valorisation and the complete and final opening to the public. In the archaeological area located in the centre of the urban fabric the most ancient and significant buildings of the Roman city are still visible: the sanctuary of the republican era (first century AD), the Capitolium (73 AD), the theatre (first to third century AD) and part of the decumanus maximus. Furthermore, the area opens onto the present piazza del foro, which conserves remnants of the roman square (first century AD). Archaeological remains (forum and spa; basilica) can also be visited under the palazzi which today constitute the limits of the legal auditorium. Apart from these Roman buildings, there are also Early medieval, renaissance and modern palazzi of the nobility which “rise” directly from ancient ruins (Palazzo Maggi Gambara, Casa Pallaveri, both communal property). In this well circumscribed area of the city, therefore, there is uninterrupted stratigraphical evidence which extends from the second century AD to the Eighth century, particularly rich, articulated and dense in content. In the capitolium in 1830, moreover, the site of the Patrio Museum was placed (afterwards the Romano Museum) the first public museum to inaugurate the museological vocation of this area. Following the first circumscribed interventions, carried out by the FIO (first of all regarding the monastery of Santa Giulia- the City Museum and then, as far as the capitolium are is concerned, the partial recovery of Casa Pallaveri and the late republican sanctuary) and with the FRISL project, financed for the first lot of works on the theatre and Palazzo Maggi Gambara. Starting from 1990 there were archaeological digs, consolidation and restoration aimed specifically at a better knowledge of the archaeological and architectural stratigraphy, making all that was progressively uncovered safe and modern buildings involved in the

ENHANCEMENT PLAN Castelseprio-Torba site Objective 24 ENHANCING THE TOURING ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CASTELSEPRIO-TORBA ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMPLEX

Project 24.1 Creating a trail to connect the upper castrum with the outpost in the valley (Torba) Description The project envisages restoration of the trail leading to the Castelseprio archaeological area, consolidation of the hillsides, and conservational restoration of the existing archaeological structures. Up to a few years ago, a trail connected the Monastery of Torba, which is located at the foot of the hill 270 m asl, with the former San Giovanni Monastery, which will be hosting the Antiquarium and is located on the hill inside the Castelseprio Archaeological Park. This trail is currently impassable because of landslides that have occurred in several areas. The Superintendant's Office for Archaeological Heritage of Lombardy approved, in 2005, a project for a new trail running close to the extant walls, although those walls are currently covered by vegetation and creepers. Project-designing for the final portion of the trail, in the area owned by FAI, was subsequently completed in line with the features set out as above. To create the trail, a route with a cross-sectional width of 110 cm and a 20% maximum slope will have to be implemented, for a total length of 140 m in the area owned by FAI and additional 340 m in an area owned by the State. Where the slope is found to be in excess of 15%, a set of steps will be put in place with their cutting edge located externally; where the slope is found to be less than 15%, diggings and fillings will be used. The walking surface will be created by using suitably stabilised materials; transverse cuttings will be created and coated in wood to ensure water channeling, and the surface will be leveled out with the help of diggings and fillings. Since the area touches upon a portion of the walls that has yet to be investigated and restored, located mostly in the FAI's grounds, the project envisages archaeological activities to analyse and bring to light any existing structures in addition to restoration of such structures so as to make them accessible and valorize the touring arrangements in the Castelseprio Archaeological park. The objectives sought by this activity consist mainly in creating a trail for tourism and cultural purposes, allowing access to, visit and maintenance of the archaeological findings and the woods, and strengthening the slope of the hill at the level of the trail Actions 1. Preliminary investigations 2. Implementation activities Parties involved Regional Directorate for Cultural and Landscape Heritage of Lombardy Superintendant's Office for Cultural Heritage of Lombardy Lombardy Region FAI - Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano (Fund for Italy's Environment) Phases and timeframe As from 2008 Financial resources As for the portion of the trail located in FAI's property: Co-funding by FAI and Lombardy Region, based on the Call for Tenders related to the Archaeological heritage of Lombardy (2007) - see regional Acts no. 39/84 and no. 39/91 - Euro 43,000 To be found as for completing the upward trail.

ENHANCEMENT PLAN Castelseprio territory Objective 26 LINKING THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES FINDINGS IN THE GIUDICARIA OF SEPRIO

Project 26.1 Creating theme-based itineraries by including the other findings related to the Early medieval and Longobard period Description The district of the Giudicaria of Seprio, which was headed by the Flavia [imperial] city of Castelseprio under Longobards' rule, is one of the main areas of the Longobard Kingdom by having regard to its key role with a view to controlling and defending the routes leading from the north to the capital of the kingdom, i.e. Pavia. Its boundaries reached northwards as far as Bellinzona, in the current Ticino Canton, in Switzerland, covered the whole province of Varese (up to the banks of Lake Maggiore and the Ticino river) and took up part of the provinces of Como (the western banks of Lake Como and the Severo river) and Milan (southwards) as well. The importance of this area during the Early middle ages period is shown by major archaeological findings, monuments and documentary evidence - Longobard tombs and necropolises, remarkable places of worship, monasteries, castles and settlements. Part of this heritage has already been the subject of valorization initiatives in the specific contexts, however there is as yet no integrated system that can make available these items to a broader circle within the framework of a full-fledged cultural and tourism offer. Therefore, the project envisages the theme-based networking of these components so as to link the archaeological findings, the monuments and works of art, museum collections and other types of heritage via different routes. This will also allow better appreciating and understanding the environmental features and the social and economic components of the area at issue. To valorize the Early middle ages heritage in the Giudicaria, after establishing the links referred to above, suitable educational and explanatory apparatuses will be made available in respect of the various routes and items by creating ad-hoc panels; additionally, joint valorization initiatives will be waged and multimedia materials will be published on the routes and topics related to the presence of Longobards in this territory.

Project 28.1 Insertion of the lodging facilities into the network of “Places of the spirit” Description From 2004-2006, the Municipality of Spoleto participated in a European project called “European places of the spirit”, within the CADSES - INTERREG IIIB programme. Its objective was to network places in Europe that are rich in cultural-religious heritage (monasteries, retreats, abbeys, etc.) in order to exploit their potential to attract tourists and create real cutting-edge Area Products, hereby overcoming the traditional concept of religious tourism and setting up an integrated, quality “package” linked not only to sacred sources, but also to picturesque areas, sources of water, nature and wellness centres. The project considered various areas in Umbria (Monteluco and Valnerina), the Marches

Project 37.1 Drawing up of a local protocol for controlling use of the Church of Santa Sofia Description Various functions coexist in the Church of Santa Sofia: It is an important place of worship in the city, has the Sannio Museum annexed to it, and it is a monument that offers users its historical – monumental value. In order to better valorise the cultural aspects it is best to draw up guidelines and principles agreed to by the owner and management Bodies as to how the Church of Santa Sofia is to be used, in light of its symbolic and worship functions. Defining the content and signing a protocol of intent between the Ministry of the interior (owner) and the Bodies involved in managing and protecting the asset, relates to continuing to use the Church as a place of worship, while making it accessible and useable as a monumental asset. The regulation will therefore define the roles of the various subjects involved in running it. Especially the Curia will continue to use it for the purposes of worship, while the Benevento Provincial Authority will see to managing the asset from a touristic-cultural point of view. The regulation will also include rules as to the fixed furnishings and fittings and moveable systems (lighting, amplification, musical) agreed to. Recommendations may be made as to the addition of further fittings and accessories over time.

Project 38.1 To re-arrange and extend the Longobard collections in the Sannio Museum. Description The Sannio Provincial Museum’s collections include historical – archaeological artefacts from the period of the Lombard domain. These very valuable artefacts are grouped in a wing on the ground floor of the Cloister in the Santa Sofia complex. Here, in the rooms dedicated to the Southern Lombards, there are inscriptions from the 5th to the 11th century, sculptures, jewellery and items of female clothing, arms (many come from the necropolis in the Cretarossa quarter), and coins from the Duke's mint. It seems useful to renovate the arrangement of the collection in the museum, also as part of the publicising and communication activities in 2008. A new layout for the two rooms on the ground floor, dedicated to the Lombard period, is planned. The plan, drawn up by the Benevento Provincial Authority, provides for adding new display cabinets for recently acquired artefacts, renewing

ENHANCEMENT PLAN Benevento site Objective 39 TO VALORISE THE URBAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE

Project 39.1 Creating an Urban Archaeological Park (P.A.U.) in Benevento Description Many urban redevelopment works that the City of Benevento has started in recent years on the old city have Highlighted the quality and quantity of the significant archaeological relics it possesses. Sharing the importance of expressing and valorising these, gave rise to the wish to create a PAU – Urban Archaeological Park.

Urban Archaeological Park

The Urban Archaeological Park involves a programme of actions aimed at valorising the archaeological heritage and cultural history of the city. Urban redevelopment – building of the walled city, already an objective of the Integrated Plan for the city, by means of which the Administration has taken far-reaching action as to the image of High quality that the city presents, is to be incentivised with further actions to control urban quality, especially in order to guarantee protection of the historical, documental, and cultural value of the original environment in which the Santa Sofia complex stands. These actions range from urban and archaeological redevelopment, to agreements between the Bodies to make it possible to manage the Archaeological Park, and to updating cognitive data, especially in relation to the traces spread around minor buildings as recycled items, as well as het control of problems related to the protection and possible usability where archaeological relics are located, such as private homes for example.

The action plans to review the entire system for the archaeological areas in the Bagni - Pacca area, a key point in the city, both due to its location (in the old city on the city's central axis, Madonna delle Grazie, Bagni area, Cathedral area, Corso Garibaldi, and Rocca dei Rettori), and the importance of the archaeological finds. Two works are planned on adjacent sites behind the Cathedral of Benevento: The Ark of the Sacrament and the Urban Archaeological Area. The “Ark of the Sacrament” project provides for building boundary walls and fixing up the

Marco dei Sabariani was found in Piazza Sabariani. The archaeological excavation of the crypt is still in progress. The frescoes found are of great interest, and studies of them are still in progress to establish their chronology and iconography. The crypt is certainly from medieval times, although further research is required to date it exactly. Once the works have been completed the archaeological area will be suitably protected, while making it available for viewing, by setting up a cover with glass surfaces, a lighting system, and protection.

Project 40.2 Urban redevelopment of the Piazzas in the Cathedral and Rocca dei Rettori areas Description Along with the PI of the City of Benevento, the Benevento Municipality has taken on extensive works to valorise its own historical, architectural, and urbanistic heritage. As an extension of that logic, it intends continuing with recovering existing buildings and central urban areas. The plan of action stresses the creation of new cultural content, which can be achieved by changing the functions of the city’s architectural complexes, as well as redeveloping the major urban invasions that border on the city's civic centre, coinciding with the buffer area. At the edges of the buffer zone the plan is to complete valorisation of the heart of the city by redeveloping major empty urban spaces, that is, a system of piazzas that demarcate the ends of Corso Garibaldi.

Corso Garibaldi after the bombardment of the second mondial war

Resolving these areas is crucial for valorising Benevento, since, having been damaged by bombardment in the second world war, apart from the areas opposite the Cathedral and the Rocca dei Rettori there are key points linking the old city and the significant urban extensions that have been built in more recent times (The Atlantici, Mellusi, and Rione Libertà quarters, which are examples of rationalistic town planning and architecture). The elimination of spaces for vehicles to stop in the areas is possible as part of a new layout of the city's traffic patterns and the service infrastructures, which will gradually move traffic to outside the walled city. For designing the works for Piazza Duomo (Cathedral) and Piazza Orsini, included in the City of Benevento's PI, the Municipal Administration made used of advanced forms of involvement in design choices, creating final and working drawings with new cultural functions and public services, starting with the International Ideas Competition that was held in 2000 and won by the Gabetti & Isola Studio.

The museums offered by the city, which recently added new public exhibition structures, will be enriched with a civic art gallery. The Hortus Conclusus, set on the historical San Domenico complex, currently a seat of the University of Sannio, is recognised as a small open-air museum in the city. Built in the early 190s in a walled garden adjacent to the Convent Cloister, it can still be valorised more by making it a venue for showing off the works of art that Benevento has. The sculptures installed there were donated to the city by the artist, Mimmo Paladino. This provides an occasion for creating a civic gallery dedicated to contemporary art, located in the ground floor rooms of the cloister itself, which will be ceded to the Municipality by the University.

Project 44.1 Plan itineraries for the PAU The idea behind the project, using knowledge of the historical archaeological characteristics of some areas of the city, including the extent and depth of archaeological layers, as well as the resulting safeguarding and valorising of the same areas, meets the need to create a tourist system that is currently lacking. The Urban Archaeological Park involves a programme of actions aimed at valorising the archaeological and architectural heritage and cultural history of the city. As part of this initiative, tourists in the city will be able to choose urban trekking itineraries that are free of charge, but for which booking is required, with guides in English and Italian. Urban trekking is a new way of touring, which is less structured and off the famous routes. This type of tourism provides greater freedom and is full of surprises focussing on panoramas, less known monuments, and places in which the citizens live their daily lives. Urban trekking is a form of sustainable tourism that decongests the monument centres and slows the passage of tourists. When walking tourists have an active, hands-on rapport with the city they are visiting and create an emotive bond that promotes fidelity. For residents,

Project 45.1 Draw plans for decorative lighting Description Campania regional Law N° 12 of 25 th July 2002 provides for the drawing up of a Municipal Lighting Plan (PIC). The Lighting Plan the Municipal Administration intends drawing up integrates the norms and requirements both for reducing light pollution, and for night-time valorisation of the important cultural assets, based in specific technical studies of the quality of the assets to be valorised in the urban centre (town planning fabric, and historical, architectural, and monumental assets). In 2005 a laser survey was completed for producing 3D images of areas of the Old City as a support for drawing up the implementation plan. This action, which is to be taken as part of the municipal programming for urban sector plans, provides for zoning of lighting, and the establishing of standards and technical performance requirements for public lighting, in order to come up with a plan that minimises light pollution.

Project 45.2 Drawing up the colour plan Description Regional Law 26/02 provided the Municipalities in Campania with a draft standard for conserving and valorising old cities, especially disciplining both censusing and cataloguing actions, and restoration, decoration, and colouring of the facades of the historical civil buildings and curtain walls more than 50 years old in Campania. Implementation of this discipline in Benevento started with censusing and cataloguing all the building structures in the urban area that are of historical and artistic interest and, as a run up to drawing up the Colour Plan for the old buildings, a survey of all curtain walls in the city walls of the old city. This was done using advanced instrumentation (laser surveying equipment for producing 3D images). This Highly scientific instrument’s output will be used to create the Colour Plan, which the City’s Administration, in collaboration with the BAPPSAE Superintendencies of Caserta and Benevento and Archaeological Assets of Salerno, Avellino and Benevento, will produce with the help of technical support from companies that specialise in producing natural pigments for colouring the facades.

It is relevant in terms of its landscape – environmental aspects, and is bounded by a bend in the River Calore and the confluence with the River Sabato. It is mainly used for agricultural irrigation and as an expansive wooded area that was recently created. The work involves environmental redevelopment of the area by building a theme park. It is intended to be used for storing, restoring, and valorising the archaeological excavations carried out in 1991/94/98 and the continuation of the investigations in adjacent areas, in order to definitively mark out the progressive development lines of the old city, until the city walls were built. In addition, the site will be refurbished in general from an environmental point of view, having been compromised by gradual decay and marginalisation caused by the construction and subsequent abandonment of the road infrastructure known as the “Asse interquartiere ovest”, which has meanwhile become obsolete compared with the original idea behind it.

Project 49.1 Project and intervention for the creation of conditions of continuity in decoration of the external space connecting the upper atrium and the roof of the Cave Description From the upper atrium of the Basilica, to the left of the entrance to the Angioine staircase, a small door leads to the open space onto which face the church of the Madonna della Libera, the entrance to the roof area of the Cave and a small rock band behind which, in the background there are minor buildings, also private, onto which the octagonal bell tower lies. The space delimited thus requires interventions of improvement to correct architectural elements and fixtures in contrast with the locations. As this open space is delimited and served by an entrance which is accessed from the main road, it is reasonable to hypothesise its use as a show area as well as a secondary access road to the Sanctuary. This space is moreover connected to the so-called “small steps”, the roof of the Cave realised in steps of chalky stone where once the pilgrims completed a much felt devotional path. Actions 1. Planning and realisation of the intervention.

Project 1.3 Broadening of the educational project “I Longobardi – Gemellaggi formativi e itinerari turistici per le scuole” (The Longobards – Educational twinning and tourist routes for schools) Description Exposcuola, the Show comparing educational activities in Europe and the Mediterranean, launched in 2000 under the patronage of the Ministry of Education and of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is an important point of reference for educational activities. In fact, the Show brings together the leading figures of the education community (students and teachers) to the institutional and associative world of communications, arts, sciences and sports. In this context, the research-action “Museo didattico della Memoria e delle Tradizioni” (Learning museum of Memory and Traditions) which promotes common initiatives among teachers and cultural operators, schools and associations, aiming at the exploitation of local culture systems and at the promotion of the culture of safeguard and conscious enjoyment of heritage and of its values of identity, was established in 2004. Subsequently, the project “I Longobardi – Gemellaggi formativi e itinerari turistici per le scuole” (The Longobards – Educational twinning and touristic routes for schools) networking 10 schools and 12 institutions and associations of Italian areas interested in the longobard presence (among which Benevento, Salerno, Caserta and Pavia) was undertaken in 2007 within the cultural and educational course of the above mentioned research-action. A first moment of encounter and exchange between partners occurred in Atripalda (in the Region of Campania) in November 2007, where the achieved results were presented. The project’s progresses, aiming at the reinforcement of the already undertaken network of relations, in order to produce qualitative tourist routes for schools among the Longobard paths, from the North to the South of Italy, were discussed and defined on this occasion. These itineraries will be portrayed as “cognitive labs” of the territories where art, science, history, traditions and environment constitute the different “stages” of the journey.

AWARENESS BUILDING AND PROMOTION PLAN Network Objective 5 CONSTRUCTION AND CONSOLIDATION OF THE EUROPEAN GEOCULTURAL CORRIDOR

Project 5.1 Extension of the network of relations to important national and European centres of Longobard interest (Geocultural corridor) Description The construction of a system of macro-itineraries connecting the “Italia Langobardorum” Site to other European places characterised by longobard history is considered of great importance and attractiveness, in order to increase the knowledge of longobard culture and traditions – which have left significant traces in the traditions of many Countries. A solution which allows, on one hand, to promote the values of the “Italia Longobardorum” Heritage and the sensitisation and involvement of a larger public and, on the other, to promote comparative studies on the cultural and traditional elements originating from the common longobard background. Therefore, the guidelines of macro-itineraries which are configured as a European “Geocultural Corridor”, spin off from the unique and excellent Places of the “Italia Langobardorum” Site. This corridor is characterised by two orientations: a) IItalian Area (places of the territories of the longobard Dukedoms and routes of tradition, among which the Via Sacra Langobardorum – Longobards’ Sacred Route); b) European Area, with two orientations: Via delle Origini (Route of origins - Itinerary from Scandinavia to the Ionian sea, across Northern and Eastern Europe, following the original historic trail of the Longobards) Via micaelica del Paradiso (Route of spreading St. Michael’s worship, transferred by the Longobards from the original Sanctuary of St. Michael in the Gargano (Mount. S. Angelo) towards the western part of Europe and the strongholds in the Susa Valley (the “Sacra” of Mount Pirchiriano) and in Normandy (Sanctuary of Mont Saint-Michel [World Heritage List UNESCO]) and towards Spain, England - Ireland, Lake Constance, Rhine Valley.

Project 17.3 Exhibitions on the craftsmanship in the Longobard era in Brescia and the sites of the territory Description The recent urban archaeological digs and those in the territory have uncovered numerous Longobard relics originating above all from necropoli, which allow the main characteristics of Early medieval craftsmanship in the area of Brescia to be traced using a significant sampling. This consists mostly of ceramics decorated ‘a stralucido’, a very shiny effect and imprinting, finely decorated bone objects, metals with precious damascening. In some cases some of the production structures were also fine. The intention is therefore to dedicate an exhibition to these findings, divided into two showcase sites, one for remains found in the city and one for those found in the territory, rich with didactic apparatus and informative tools which allow the technique and profound ability of the Longobard craftsmen to be understood.

Project 27.2 Implementing the tourist information system – augmented reality Description The idea behind the project, using knowledge of the historical archaeological characteristics of some areas of the city, including the extent and depth of archaeological layers, as well as the resulting safeguarding and valorising of the same areas, meets the need to create a tourist system that is currently lacking. The project provides for activating virtual networks to serve the tourist system by using innovative technologies for providing the user with information in situ. This initiative involves creating virtual reality modules that reconstruct the city’s monuments in various historical ages as well as the Roman and then Longobard plan of the city. Augmented reality means superimposing a computer generated virtual reality over the reality perceived by the subject, thereby providing additional information on the actual setting. The use of these technologies as tourist services that can be used via optic visors connected to a WiFi network could be based on a high quality database (photographs of all the facades of the buildings in the old city, recently taken by the Benevento Municipality as the basis for the Colour Plan), which, with the help of a GIS tool would make it possible to catalogue in detail the architectural elements on facades, stone fragments built into walls, wall textures, etc – within the ancient city. Parties involved Municipality of Benevento Benevento Provincial Authority Superintendency for Architectural Heritage in the provinces of Salerno, Avellino, and Benevento and BAPPSAE Superintendency of Caserta and Benevento.

Presenting the artistic – cultural history of a city using alternative forms of recounting to canons, such as in the form of comic strips, makes it possible to easily get to users in the school-going age group. “Benevento in comic strips” or “Benevento a history of art” has this very aim. In addition, it has an artistic quality if one imagines developing it with the involvement of artists supported by experts in local history.

Projects 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 1.1 Coordinating objectives, projects and network actions 1.2 Creation of an integrated system for promoting hospitality and typical production activities 1.3 Joint running of promotional economic initiatives for the serial site 1.4 Creating a system brand Description The brand of the “Italia Langobardorum” system – owned by the Association of Stakeholders (or Body managing the network) – will have characteristics based on the indicators established by a focus group made up of experts nominated from within the Association and representatives appointed by the economic trade organisations. Companies that intend using the brand must formally accept to comply with the Regulations and Discipline for the economic category to which they belong, which is also to be drawn up by the focus group indicated above, as well as the Quality Model, Code of Conduct, and control system. The integrated system for promoting the activities that will be recognised in the system brand will be based first of all on the capacity to offer hospitality services and connected with high quality sales, especially in terms of technological innovation. The possibility of accessing all the information at any point in the system is the first characterising element: Access to the information will be available via any company that uses the brand, while financial and insurance services for the system of companies will be defined in the disciplines and will have a high added value. In addition, the system will be based in reciprocal conveyance of products. Each hospitality company or related service must have a shelf for typical products, while each typical products company is to provide detailed information on the hospitality services available in the areas involved. Promotion actions taken must be integrated and fall within a system. The logic is that of competitiveness with those outside the system by not within the system. The penetration capacity of products is interrelated with the penetration capacity of the cultural assets – tourist hospitality – typical products system. In this regard the Foreign Chamber of Commerce (Assocamere Estere) system will play a fundamental role as one of the system’s reference partners. Actions 1. Establishment of the Network Authority between the Stakeholders 2. Structuring the focus group of experts from the locations in the Site 3. Setting up of an integrated (structural) promotion system 4. Running of “system” promotional actions 5. Definition of the Regulations, Discipline, and conditions for granting use of the brand 6.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN Network Objective 2 INCREASING THE QUALITY AND COORDINATION OF THE HOSPITALITY SYSTEM AND RELATED SERVICES Projects 2.1 Creating a discipline for hospitality services and related (catering, bar) services, and 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 the related common brand 2.2 Creation of an automatic centralised system of hospitality services with an indication of the availability of beds and eating places. 2.3 Creation of a system to monitor the services offered and measure customer satisfaction Description The exceptional, unique nature of the Heritage facilitate the usefulness of raising the level of quality in the socio-economic contexts of the Site Locations, and to concentrate on setting up a quality model for hospitality and reception services, as well as hospitality related services. In the same way the plan is to codify the shared means of approach to and guidance of visitors by those working in hospitality, in order to provide the visitors with further stimuli for knowing about both the individual Locations and the Site as a whole. Regulating the hospitality and related services for “Italia Langobardorum” will specifically mean adopting a Quality Model and a specific Code of Conduct. Among other things, these instruments must identify innovative, high quality services to be proposed to tourists, especially as regards the use of Information and Communication technological instruments. As can be seen in the actions that follow, these regulations will be accompanied by the system trademark as specified in the across the board project illustrated below. Correct, systematic application of the regulations, controlled by means of a system for monitoring the services offered, will guarantee a high standard of quality for the services at the various sites. The level of service offered at every point in the network will also be assured by telematic linking of the structures, for constant updating of their availability. Actions 1. Structuring of territorial focus groups made up of representatives of institutions, economic categories, individual entrepreneurs, and experts in the sector, in order to gather proposals on the “Regulations for hospitality activities and related services” comprising a Quality Model and Code of Conduct. 2. Receiving proposals and drawing up draft regulations and a rough common trademark, to be submitted for approval by the associations and individual entrepreneurs in the sector, as well as the institutions involved. 3. Final definition of the shared Regulations and the Trademark and relevant adoption by part of participating entrepreneurs and institutions involved. 4. Connection of all the hospitality structures and related services that adopt the Regulations via the web, for real-time updating of quantitative and qualitative data on the availability of beds and eating covers, as well as other services offered in participating structures. This data will be conveyed via a single portal for the serial site and any other form of promotion that is undertaken. Visitors will be able to access the information in the system via serial system at any point, free of charge. 5. Adoption of customer-satisfaction instruments and monitoring system Parties involved Coordination structure Municipal Administrations Stakeholders Universities Chambers of Commerce Economic trade organisations Companies in the sector

Phases and timeframe These actions will be carried out over a time span of January – June 2008 about a year and a half, broken down as follows: Structuring of territorial focus groups. Receipt of proposals and draft regulations July – October 2008

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN Network Objective 3 SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND NEW PROFESSIONALISM RELATED TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM

Projects 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 3.1 Running training courses for professional refreshing of economic operators and related employees in the tourism market and typical agroalimentary products and crafts 3.2 Support with creating new entrepreneurship in the area of sustainable tourist development, and tourist services in particular 3.3 Running of training courses for creating new professionals in the tourism field Description The birth of the “Italia Langobardorum” Network and the consequent launch of the new tourism and cultural offer of typical local products, requires activation and use of innovative services. On the one hand this means updating existing economic operators and professionals, and on the other hand the activation of new entrepreneurship and professions. The projects included in this section are aimed at facilitating and stimulating the start of training courses for preparing entrepreneurs and professionals in the hospitality and related services, management of the cultural systems, information and communication, quality agroalimentary and wine and food products, publishing, and typical crafts. Another fundamental aspect of the actions to be taken in this regard is support of new entrepreneurship in the tourist sector in general and in innovative tourist services in particular. Forms of support will be identified for neo-entrepreneurs prepared to invest in this sector. This support will vary in term of geographic area and the financial instruments available (finding of FESR funds is a deciding factor). Actions 1. Structuring of focus groups made up of representatives of economic categories, individual entrepreneurs, local administrations, universities, and approved training bodies, for drawing up the training courses necessary for the actions in the system for socio-economic development. 2. Running of training courses for updating economic operators and employees of companies already in existence in the hospitality and related services, and quality typical products sector. These courses will be aimed at introducing innovative elements like the use of new information and communication technologies. 3. Running of training courses for starting new entrepreneurships and professions, and professional re-training for those employed in the sectors involved. 4. Promotion of the exchange of know-how between entrepreneurial undertakings in the Locations in the Site. 5.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN Cividale Territory Objective 5 IMPROVEMENT OF ACCESSIBILITY TO THE HERITAGE

Project 5.1 Strengthening of railway infrastructures and connections and local public transports Description As to the transport system, Cividale is provided with a railway connection to and from Udine, active since 1886. The creation of a new railway station outside the buffer-zone is under way in order to connect the area of the former cement factory (which will soon be requalified– see Socio-Economic Development Plan Cividale, Objective 2 Project 2.1) to the historical centre. Next to the railway station, a new intermodal centre will be created, in view of developing a transport system combining railway and road infrastructures and improving the local public transport. On the railway line structural and plant improvement interventions have been conducted in all stations, level crossings and a new station was created in San Gottardo (Udine). Two new locomotives were purchased and have recently become operational. The railway line Udine-Cividale is currently configured as a surface underground, with around 500,000 users/year and 14-minute travelling time between Cividale and Udine with 6 stops. Actions 1. Creation of a new railway station and renovation of the line 2. Creation of the intermodal Centre 3. Elimination of the existing level crossing Parties involved Municipality of Cividale del Friuli Province of Udine Region Friuli Venezia Giulia Ministry for Infrastructures and Transportf Sistemi Territoriali s.p.a.

Project 5.2 Interventions to improve the road system Description The build-up area of Cividale is an important transit area in the regional transport system, in particular for the connections with Udine in the South-West, with the Natisone Valleys and Slovenia in the North-East and with Gorizia and Trieste in the South-East. The urban traffic Plan, created in 1994 and updated in 2007 highlights the presence of a high traffic flow inside the historical centre. The new Municipal General Urban Development Plan aims at directing flows to ensure sustainability to the historical centre by redistributing traffic to external roads and creating new parking areas near the historical centre (see Socio- economic Development Plan Cividale Objective 1 Project 1.3).

Actions 1. Creation of new roads outside the buffer-zone 2. Creation of roundabouts at the main junctions outside the buffer-zone 3. Creation of cycle tracks 4.

Project 5.3 Strengthening of parking areas Description The survey on demand and availability of parking areas highlighted that the town offers good facilities in the whole municipal area. However, the Municipal Administration aims at providing a substantial investment to enhance parking areas in the historical centre. The area, more than others, needs new car parks, especially for tourists, residents with no garage of their own and public offices, services and trade users: all these categories, unlike permanent employees and suburban residents, need parking areas as close as possible to the Historical Centre.

Description An underground railway with a route of 14km in communal territory, with the realisation of 17 stations of which 13 underground, creation of car parks near the stations accessing the city and integration with the other surface bus lines of Brescia Mobilità and with the Lam – high mobility lines. Realisation by: Ansaldo Trasporti Sistemi Ferroviari, Astaldi, AnsaldoBreda and Necso Entrecanales Cubiertas. The Metrobus, the new underground of Brescia, will become an important axis in the city public transport system, integrated by interchange car parks distributed in strategic points of the urban fabric. It is a completely automatic underground railway, with electric vehicles of a small size, without a driver on board, which travel on their own on protected track, separate from ordinary traffic (partly in tunnels, partly at ground level and partly in viaducts). Actions Excavation was chosen using the modern “shield” boring technique, the so-called “mole” because it digs like a mole does. This large machine, driven by export personnel and with sophisticated equipment, has a diameter of about 9 metres for a length of 120, it works underground with its rotating head and, automatically, consolidates and lines the circular dug tunnel with prefabricated material. All this continuously and silently, without the city realising, except for the external phases of building the stations. For further safety, the micro-stability of all the buildings on the path is continuously monitored. There is no interference with the archaeological layer and, should the water layer rise in the future, all the tunnel (as with all the other underground structures throughout the route) is integrally waterproofed Parties involved Brescia Mobilità. Also: Municipality of Brescia, Ministry of Infrastructures, Ministry of Transport, Region of Lombardy. Phases and timeframe by the end of 2012. Financial resources The expected cost of the work is a total of 750 million Euros, of which 284.4 million come from the State, 72.3 million from the Region of Lombardy, 67 million from the Municipality of Brescia and a thirty year mortgage of 240.3 million.

Project 32.2 Realisation of an route alternative to the section of the trunk road 272 Monte Sant’Angelo San Giovanni Rotondo Description Trunk road 272 San Giovanni Rotondo – Monte Sant’Angelo is the main roadway axis from which over 70% of tourists arrive at the candidate site. 21km long, currently has sections which slow travel down due to objective technical characteristics. It requires general revision and modernisation of the horizontal and vertical signal system as well as optimisation of protection devices on some margins. The project for the intervention has already been drawn up by ANAS and approved by the Borough Council which has approved the variation to the urban plan to allow the realisation of new sections for considerably reducing travel time, also improving the general level of safety of the road itself. Abandoned before its site set- up by ANAS, due to administrative vicissitudes which occurred during the last part of the nineties

and correlated to the re-organisation of the structure of the heritage of the roadwork network in Italy, it has currently been restored by the Borough Administration which has negotiations of consultation in progress with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructures for refinancing and realisation of the work. Its realisation will allow safer and higher quality thoroughfare to the flow of pilgrims which reach Monte Sant’Angelo from the nearby Sanctuary of San Pio da Pietrelcina in San Giovanni Rotondo.

Project 32.3 Implementation of the consortium activity for the full utilization of the Gino Lisa airport of Foggia as privileged airport for tourist flows of foreign origin Description Gino Lisa (Foggia) airport is a level III airport with tourist and religious air services, serving the area of Gargano, civil protection and general aviation services. The optimisation of tourist traffic and the development conditions of the airport in relation to its multifunctionality respect to the provincial economic system has for some time been the centre point of planning action dictated by the government organisations of the territory of the Province of Foggia. Its valorisation is among those contained in the proposal of the Agreement of Framework Programme between the Province of Foggia and the Region of Puglia prepared in 2006 for the social economic relaunch of the provincial territory of Foggia because of the planning of structural funds 2007 – 2013. Its growth it currently one of the primary objectives of Promodaunia, the agency for the promotion and valorisation of the “Sistema Capitanata”, public and private participant companies, one of which is the Province of Foggia, together with the individual municipalities, among which Monte Sant’angelo, have also appointed the mission finalised to sustaining and actuating actions and strategies which are shared for the implementation of international tourist air traffic in the airport of Foggia. The Unsesco candidature is certainly an added value for the purpose in question which will certainly produce a considerable increase in demand able to interest management companies of the airport structure with more availability and resources.

Project 32.4 Completion of the high-speed roadway network of Gargano in the section Mattinata – Vieste and internal road of connection with the trunk road 272 Monte Sant’Angelo-San Giovanni Rotondo Description The completion of the gallery system to connect Vieste to Mattinata in the programme of implementation of the high-speed roadway network of Gargano and the realisation of a new internal branch point for connection with trunk road S.S. 272 Monte Sant’Angelo-San Giovanni Rotondo, through the valley of Carbonara, is a territorial objective shared by the Province of Foggia and contained in the planning document mentioned above. It is considered of great importance for defining the elimination of the current bottleneck in the connecting infrastructures between Gargano Nord, the economic facility of which revolves around the beach tourism economy of municipalities such as Vieste and Gargano sud, characterised by a particular richness of the territory in terms of religious, cultural, gastronomic and naturalistic tourist routes. Its material realisation, even if long term, will allow better functionality for businesses and tourist flows thanks to the speed of transport and the connections between the two areas complimenting each other in terms of tourism.

Project 32.5 Realization of the Macchia Madonna delle Grazie – Historic Centre of Monte Sant’Angelo cableway Description The construction of a cableway which connects the plain of Macchia with the Historical Centre of Monte Sant’Angelo is a project for which the territory has been waiting a definitive relaunch for some time. The final planning stage is already available; the section has a travelling time of about 5 minutes: sufficient time for the tourists coming from the south (Manfredonia, tourist arrival point etc.) to directly reach the buffer zone from which to make the visit to the Michaelic sanctuary. Its realisation will, moreover, give a decisive push to the valorisation of the marine of Monte Sant’Angelo, thanks to the possibility of combining the cool summer climate of the mountain to beach tourism through direct connections between the cableway station downstream and the beaches of the seacoast. For this reason its realisation will be included in a composite project of valorisation of the coast, currently in the study phase and of the territory of the Plain of Macchia from a tourism viewpoint according to regimes of environmental compatibility and in full respect of the vocations of the territory.

Project 32.6 Interventions of improvement on the road network Description The internal roadway system of the inhabited centre of Monte Sant’Angelo has its weak point in the by-pass of which the north side, foreseen in PRG, has not yet been activated with consequent heavier vehicle traffic on the main road passing inside the buffer zone and in front of the external atrium, of the Basilica. Even if the urban traffic plan significantly limits the travel of vehicles by means of the pedestrian crossing time bands, to realise the best conditions of protection and valorisation of the site, it is necessary to activate the forecasts of P.R.G. concerning the north side of the by- pass. This intervention, the technical feasibility of which has already been verified, will allow the establishment of a new entrance way to the city on the north side in alternative to the current section of road which coasts the site. The distinct orographic conformation of the involved land, moreover, will allow the possibility of localising new spaces respect to the site and a car park to the north of the buffer zone, in full compatibility with the landscape of the locations. Finally, the work will be of great advantage to the residents in that it will consent safety interventions on internal urban roadways finalised to considerably lightening traffic in the city which currently travels over a long section in high density zones with consequent inconvenience to residents.

Project 34.1 Realisation of P.R.G. forecasts in relation to the areas destined for craftsmanship production in the periurban area and relaunch of productive and new entrepreneurial activities Description The municipality of Monte Sant’Angelo has areas destined to handcraft production localised to the east of the populated area in an area contiguous to the urban parameter. After years of revision of the areas in relation to the effective demand of the market and the difficulties correlated to the physical conformation of the territories involved, up to today the settlements are in the phase of concrete realisation. In particular, on the part of a consortium of private operators, in progress are the workshop areas for programmed handcraft production in the P.I.P zone – location of Stinchitiello, while in the phase of constitution is the public-private consortium for the realisation of the other P.I.P. handcraft area in the location of Santa Croce, contiguous to the former. The programmed workshops will allow the transfer of all the productive activities currently operating in the populated area to the handcraft zone, thus allowing the elimination of conditions of unease both for the operators and the residents, guaranteeing, also, the availability of productive spaces for the new entrepreneurial realities.

392 9. IMPLEMENTING THE MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 Mechanism for Management Plan implementation

The management of the Site whose nomination is submitted for inscription on the World Heritage List is an ongoing process that, for the past several decades, has striven to preserve and enhance its artifacts. The rationale at the basis of the Management Plan is the need to improve the link between the Longobard heritage and pertinent territories and to increase awareness of resident population concerning its cultural identity. Finally, the aim of the plan is also to favor conditions for economic growth that are respectful of the cultural value of those territories. The following are the prerequisites to achieve these objectives:

• A strong involvement of numerous interested public and private bodies; • An optimal level of integration and coordination among these bodies.

During the phases of elaboration of the Site Management Plan, the involvement of numerous public and private bodies, each in charge of a specific Longobard monumental complex and the pertinent territory, gave proof of great political and technical collaboration capacity. That collaboration has enabled the identification of common objectives and the definition of strategies, and has been officially sanctioned by a Memorandum of Understanting signed in Rome by institutional representatives during a public ceremony (see attachment 1 in Nomination Format). With this document, all the stakeholders have committed to coordinate their efforts to protect, enhance and promote Longobard heritage, together with the natural and cultural resources of their territories, with the aim to spur their socio-economic development. Over two hundred experts, located across the Site, have elaborated the main tool of this coordination: the Management Plan, which defines projects and actions to implement common objectives. Meetings and focus groups at the local, regional, and national level have been coordinated by the UNESCO World heritage List Office of the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities. An intranet site has been set up to provide all concerned parties with pertinent documentation, ensuring maximum coordination.

In order to guarantee the implementation of the Management Plan, and the effectiveness of the projects and actions it includes, a more structured and effective management of the Site has been necessary. To guarantee a unitary vision that will remain unmarred by possible changes in political leadership over the long term, or varying schedules of implementation for separate parts of the project, prerequisites are as follows: • Co-ordination of actions, ensuring uniformity across actions of parties marked by different areas of expertise; • common policies to create synergies among different sectors and strategies; • pooling of resources to obtain necessary support for the implementation of planned actions; • sharing and complementing various types of expertise and respective areas of responsibility to increase efficiency.

In early October 2007, a meeting of the stakeholders tackled these issues, including defining responsibilities of involved parties, and the most appropriate legal forms the Management Plan and its governing structure should adopt. Concerning areas of responsibility, the governing structure has to guarantee the following: • the coordination of parties, policies, resources and responsibilities as specified above but without taking on specific and direct responsibility for the implementation of single projects or actions. The Site is very vast and includes monuments disseminated in Italy from north to south. The implementation of specific plans and projects therefore has to be carried out by local “operative structures” that are being set up for the purpose; • the monitoring of various phases of implementation of projects and respective reports, in addition to providing possible corrective feedback that might readjust programs, modifying the sector Plans as needed.

As for the juridical form that has to be assigned to this coordinating structure of the Management Plan, it has to be such that it guarantees: • representation of all stakeholders; • the possibility to access and directly manage financing sources for network activities.

To that end, the juridical forms of organizations under common control as envisaged by the Italian law have been considered, and a few initial suggestions have been made that will be voted upon in the next stakeholders’ meeting to be held in March 2008.

393 The CAB Foundation in Brescia has offered to house the network operative structure in its headquarters and representatives of involved institutions are already at work to create the “operative structures” of management in their respective offices.

Until the management structure of the Site is in place, which should happen within a few months, the implementation of the Plan will continue being carried out by the Work Group.

As regards management structure developments see Socio-economic Development Plan – objective 1 – project 1.1. In short, in 2008 a pro-tempore Network Authority was set up; in 2009, this body led to the “Italia Langobardorum” Association, which is the current managing structure of the whole network. This Association, also through the involvement of all partners and stakeholders, the establishment of working groups on matters concerning the specific five Plan, the allocation of necessary resources, will ensure:

• the co-ordinated management of the separate components of the Serial Property, • the coordinated implementation of the networking actions provided for by the Management Plan as well as the integration of the actions planned for each site, • the monitoring, evaluation and feedback of the Management Plan,

after all:

• the effective protection, conservation, promotion and enhancement of the nominated serial property for present and future generations, • a sustainable contribution to the social and economic development and to the quality of life of local communities (with reference the Budapest Declaration adopted by the World Heritage Committee during its 26th session)

9.2 Analysis of funding sources

Concerning the implementation of projects and involved institutions in each of the network areas: Institutions and Agencies have made a commitment to improve effectiveness of regular and extraordinary financing sources with the aim to guarantee implementation of the activities included in the Management Plan for the Site whose nomination is put forward for inscription on the World Heritage List and to guarantee necessary coordination among projects. That has enabled the completion of some projects and the launching of others (see Chapters 1 and 3). In addition, the same Institutions and Agencies have set their budgets and financial agendas according to the common policies of the Management Plan and have initiated necessary procedures to obtain further financing, as envisaged by the budget law of Italy.

The territorial fragmentation of the serial property “The Longobards in Italy. Places of the power (568-774 d.C.)” entails, however, an extreme differentiation of the intensity of funding of northern and central Italy as opposed to the southern regions (Campania and Puglia), which will have to be compensated by the network. As for the EU Programs, all regions are equally entitled to access to direct funds, a specific type of structural funds, because financing rates are previously established. Territorial cooperation programs are those most apt to be effectively used for the launching and support of network activities (INTERREG VC). Another tool, the GECT (Groupe Européen pour la Coopération Territoriale REG CE 1083/2006), can also be used to establish a thematic network at the European level, which could include foreign regions that are marked by vestiges of Longobard culture. For certain specific aspects, it is also possible to refer to other EU programs, such as Culture 2007-2013, and other sources of funding for research, such as the 7th Framework Program on Research FP7.

Additional potential sources of funding for the activities included in the Management Plan are structural funds (indirect funds) managed by the Italian State on the basis of the objectives and the ten priorities that have been defined at the National level with the Strategic National Framework (QSN). They are the following:

394 MACRO-OBJECTIVES Priorities a) To develop awareness and • Improvement and enhancement of human resources (Priority 1); knowledge circuits • Promotion, enhancement and dissemination of research and innovation to increase competitiveness (Priority 2) b) To increase life quality, security and • Sustainable and efficient use of environmental resources (Priority 3); social integration over the territory • Social integration and services to improve quality of life and attractiveness of the territory (Priority 4) c) To strengthen the productive • Enhancement of natural and cultural resources to increase attractiveness and structures, services and development (Priority 5) competitiveness • Networks and connections to improve mobility (Priority 6); • Competitiveness of productive systems and increased employment rates (Priority 7); • Competitiveness and attractiveness of cities and urban systems (Priority 8). d) To Internationalize and modernize • Attraction of investment, exports, and resources from foreign countries (Priority 9); • Governance, institutional capacity, competitive and effective markets (Priority 10).

The main financial reference points for the indirect funds managed by the Italian State are the PON (Programmi Operativi Nazionali, or National Operative Programs). These include the PON for Security, Education, Research and Competitiveness, Networks and Mobility, Governance and AT. The PON are managed through the Intesa Istituzionale di Programma [Institutional Program Agreement] and the Accordi di Programma Quadro tra lo Stato e le Regioni [Framework agreements between the State and the Regions]. In addition, each region can manage structural funds through the Programmi Operativi Regionali [Regional Operative Programs] FESR and FSE. Although the various EU, national and regional funding programs can be used interchangeably and together, essentially:

1. The Fondo Sociale Europeo (FSE) [European Social Fund] can be used for research activities 2. The Fondo Europeo di Sviluppo Regionale (FESR) [European Regional Development Fund] is most suitable for activities involving preservation, protection, enhancement, promotion and economic development.

Those Regions that aim to “converge,” such as Campania and Puglia, in the case of the nominated property, can utilize the Programmi Operativi Interregionali (POIN) [Inter-Regional Operative Programs] focusing on issues of the Environment, Tourism, and Cultural Affairs. That latter program, for example, could be used to implement the Via Sacra Langobardorum project, involving Benevento and Monte Sant’Angelo.

Furthermore, the established “Italia Langobardorum” Association, which is the current managing structure of the whole network, guarantees the necessary financial support to implement the net project, by using the resources allocated by the members according to the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality set forth by the European Union.

10. MONITORING AND REVIEWING THE MANAGEMENT PLAN

In order to complete the management process, the monitoring system must be set up. It must be able to assess the real implementation of planned objectives and their impact on the territory at cultural, social and economic level, so as to enable the implementation of an effective error correction feedback for the Management Plan.

For the monitoring, a control model – working on more levels – which makes use of adequate analysis parameters will be used. In particular, through specific and differentiated indicators, the management plan will be evaluated and verified on three different levels which start from monitoring of single operational projects to the monitoring of the objectives achieved in the single actions and to the general impact of the entire management plan.

10.1 Key indicators for nominated Serial Property

As to the implementation of the single operational projects, described in the 5 Sector Plans, this will be verified through a traditional technical monitoring system which will enable the evaluation of the state of progress of interventions in comparison to estimated time limits and expenses, etc..

As far as the achievement of the objectives is concerned, relative to the single projects, this will be possible trough purposely created numeric indicators, many of which have been already identified and reported on the projects reports.

Concerning the indicators to be used for the monitoring of macro-objectives (on the basis of each Plan) and the effectiveness of the results achieved in the single Plans (Knowledge Plan, Conservation-Protection Plan, Enhancement Plan, Public Awareness and Promotion Plan, Socio-Economic Development Plan), starting from the analyses conducted by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage, specific performance indicators for the Site applying for WHL are now being studied.

As for the Conservation Plan, the monitoring will no doubt be based also on the updating of vulnerability indicators, defined when the nomination was prepared, according to the standards and the methods of the Risk Map of Italian Cultural Heritage (see Nomination Format; item 6.a).

Some possible numeric indicators, now under development, are indicated in the following table:

Knowledge Plan Conservation- Enhancement Plan Public-Awareness Socio-Economic Protection Plan and Promotion Plan Development Plan Number of launched Vulnerability indicators Number (and costs) of Number (and costs) of Cost and number of study projects carried out published promotional overnight stays enhancement materials interventions Number of Environmental Number of Number (and costs) of Average duration of archaeological damage indicators monuments now produced multimedia overnight stays excavations carried ready to be visited materials out Number of scientific Number (and costs) of Number of exhibited Number of visitors Utilization rate of publications carried out artefacts accommodation conservation facilities interventions Quantity of registered Number (and costs) of Number (and costs) of Number of accesses Costs for quality-label and computerized maintenance equipped tourist to the network website products information interventions itineraries Quantity of information Requalified surface Number (and costs) of Number (and costs) of Number of companies managed for each areas recovered buildings organized events; and/ or operators in property Number of participants the cultural heritage sector Accessibility level of Number of carried out Per-capita income of the information system didactic activities resident population Number of organized Number (and costs) of Unemployment rate scientific conferences advertising campaigns Number of edited Site Sponsorship Infrastructure capacity researches

397

10.2 Tourism carrying capacity

An interesting indicator – for which a specific study involving various experts of the Italia Langobardorum network is now being launched – is the tourism carrying capacity indicator. As it is known, despite the number of studies on this topic at international level, no shared method has been defined to develop a numeric indicator able to indicate the carrying capacity of a cultural property. Studies on the subject lag behind those relative to the natural heritage.

Also in Italy several experimentations have been launched on the subject. They will be taken into account in the study which is about to be launched for the nominate Property. However, each experimentation followed rather different guidelines and, in any case, the aspects assessed to develop a TCC measure are generally remotely related to the aspects linked to the heritage and indirectly linked to it (e.g. capacity of accommodation facilities, capacity of waste disposal plants, etc.).

10.3 SWOT analysis

The assessment of the results achieved with the implementation of the actions envisaged in the Management Plan can be carried out by using the SWOT analysis, already used when drawing up the Plan.

The SWOT analysis meets the needs for rationalization of decision-making processes, as a support to public intervention decisions used to analyse alternative development models.

The analysis is conducted on the strengths and weaknesses of the analysis context, as well as on the opportunities and threats which derive from the external context which specific sectors or areas are exposed to. The objective of the analysis is to define the development opportunities of an area which result from the enhancement of strengths and the limitation of weaknesses, in the light of an opportunity and risk analysis. The SWOT analysis therefore highlights the main factors – both internal and external – which can influence the results of a programme/ plan and thus give rise to possible alternative development models.

The analysis also supports the planning of a strategy which is consistent with the context applied to it.

To sum up, the SWOT analysis enables the identification of the main strategic guidelines in relation to a global territorial development objective.

It can be used: ex ante, in order to improve the integration of the programme in its context; in intermediate phase, to verify if, in relation to the changes occurred in the context, the guidelines are still relevant (thus providing an instrument to decide on possible programme changes); ex post, to contextualize the final results of plans and programmes.

The analysis usually is represented as a matrix, organized in four sections: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks. A specific matrix was built for the places of the Italia Langobardorum network, and it can be re-applied as monitoring instrument in the future.
