  • From Planning to Management of Cultural Heritage Sites: Controversies and Conflicts Between Unesco Whl Management Plans and Loca
    EUROPEAN SPATIAL RESEARCH AND POLICY Volume 21 2014 Number 2 https://doi.org/10.1515/esrp-2015-0004 Francesco Lo PICCOLO*, Vincenzo TODARO*1 FROM PLANNING to MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES: CONTROVERSIES AND CONFLICTS BETWEEN UNESCO WHL MANAGEMENT PLANS AND LOCAL SPATIAL PLANNING IN SOUTH-EASTERN SICILY Abstract. The paper investigates the relationship between the preservation of cultural heritage and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites, with special reference to the relation be- tween Management Plans and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This will be explored through a case study related to South-Eastern Sicilian UNESCO sites (in particular Syracuse). The analysis of this case study will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning regimes – which mainly refer to a performative model – in a (still) very conformative planning sys- tem. The paper will show how supranational protection tools and models often lose their efficacy in relation to local planning systems. Key words: UNESCO Management Plan, Sicily, natural and cultural heritage, planning efficacy. 1. INTRODUCTION This article aims to investigate the relationship between sustainable development and planning in UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) sites. Its focus is the re- lationship between WHL Management Plans (MP) and other (local and regional) planning instruments and policies able to influence the promotion of sustainable and responsible development. This will be explored through the case study of the site Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica. The analysis of this case study will point out the challenge of integrating different management and planning re- gimes – which mainly refer to a performative model – in a (still) very conformative planning system.

  • The Villa Romana Del Casale, Piazza Armerina
    The Villa Romana del Casale, Piazza Armerina "There are places through history, where time has left its voice and truth its mystery. In the heart of the Mediterranean, near the town of Piazza Armerina, lies the valley of Casale in which skilled workers wrought in stone, a testimony to all of classic humanity. While the wind of time buried its remains, there appeared on the squares of the mosaic a story in which was sewn the echo of infinite days. It composed the semblances of memory and sings to posterity the song of Ulysses, of Ambrosia, the song of hunting and harvesting, of giants and that of the empire while never forgetting human destiny, that in its most significant expressions remains a mystery…"The Villa Romana del Casale was built between the end of the third century and the beginning of the fourth century AD amid a system of large estates that belonged to powerful Roman families that went to hunt or spend holidays there. Certain intellectuals believe the villa to have belonged to a member of the hierarchy of the Roman Empire (a Consul), while others maintain that it belonged to the Emperor M. Valerio Massimiano, known as Herculeos Victor. Inhabited during the Arab domination, the villa was partially destroyed by the Normans. Afterwards, a spate of mud originating from the Monte Mangone, submerged it almost completely. The first archaeological excavations at a scientific level and promoted by the commune of Piazza Armerina, were carried out in 1881. The excavations were resumed again between 1935 and 1939, and finally, with the intervention of the Sicilian region, the entire complex was unveiled in the 1950s thanks to the efforts of the archaeologist Vinicio Gentili.
