  • The Impacts in Real Estate of Landscape Values: Evidence from Tuscany (Italy)
    sustainability Article The Impacts in Real Estate of Landscape Values: Evidence from Tuscany (Italy) Francesco Riccioli 1,* , Roberto Fratini 2 and Fabio Boncinelli 2 1 Department of Veterinary Science—Rural Economics Section, University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy 2 Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry, University of Florence, 50144 Firenze, Italy; roberto.fratini@unifi.it (R.F.); fabio.boncinelli@unifi.it (F.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Using spatial econometric techniques and local spatial statistics, this study explores the relationships between the real estate values in Tuscany with the individual perception of satisfaction by landscape types. The analysis includes the usual territorial variables such as proximity to urban centres and roads. The landscape values are measured through a sample of respondents who expressed their aesthetic-visual perceptions of different types of land use. Results from a multivariate local Geary highlight that house prices are not spatial independent and that between the variables included in the analysis there is mainly a positive correlation. Specifically, the findings demonstrate a significant spatial dependence in real estate prices. The aesthetic values influence the real estate price throughout more a spatial indirect effect rather than the direct effect. Practically, house prices in specific areas are more influenced by aspects such as proximity to essential services. The results seem to show to live close to highly aesthetic environments not in these environments. The results relating to the distance from the main roads, however, seem counterintuitive. This result probably depends on the evidence that these areas suffer from greater traffic jam or pollution or they are preferred for alternative uses such as for locating industrial plants or big shopping centres rather than residential Citation: Riccioli, F.; Fratini, R.; use.

The aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate the differences and similarities in the spatial structure of Cittaslow towns in the Italian regions of Tuscany and Umbria and the Polish region of Warmia and Mazury. The study examined historical towns which are situated in different parts of Europe and have evolved in different cultural and natural environments. The presented research attempts to determine whether the spatial structure of historical towns established in different European regions promotes the dissemination of the Cittaslow philosophy and the adoption of sustainable development principles. The urban design, architectural features and the composition of urban and architectural factors which Citation: Zagroba, M.; are largely responsible for perceptions of multi-dimensional space were evaluated. These goals were Pawlewicz, K.; Senetra, A.

  • Catiline in Fiesole and Florence: the After-Life of a Roman Conspirator
    Catiline in Fiesole and Florence: The After-life of a Roman Conspirator PATRICIA J. OSMOND The story of Catiline, the Roman noble who plotted to overthrow the Roman Republic in 63 B.C., occupies a significant place in Florentine historiography and political thought of the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Starting with the Chronica de origine civitatis (ca. 1228), this article traces the sources of the medieval account back to the ancient epitomes and investigates its relation to Sallust's Bellum Catilinae. It then describes the two branches or traditions of the story that developed in the course of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries: (1) the classical or civic, which centered on the figure of Catiline-the- villain, rebel and enemy of Rome (and of Rome's daughter-city Florence) and (2) the feudal or chivalric, which recounted the legendary adventures of Catiline-the-knight, pro- tector of Fiesole, the rival of Florence. In the final sections of the article, attention focuses on the success of the classical version of the story, linked to Guelf ambienti and, in turn, to the growth of a conservative republican ideology. While the celebration of Roman civic virtues, summed up in Cicero's defense of the res publica against the rebel Catiline, legiti- mated and ennobled the claims of the rising merchant and banking families, the vilifica- tion of Catiline as public enemy provided effective propaganda against new challenges from lower-class movements. Continuously present in the elaboration of Florentine "civic humanism," Sallust's story of Catiline supplies, in fact, an important connection between Guelf patriotism and the classicizing republicanism of the Quattrocento.

  • Hiking Through the Tuscan Apennines: Abetone Mountain
    Hiking through the Tuscan Apennines: Abetone Mountain Enjoy a full day hiking in the Gomito Mountains region. Begin in Abetone, a municipality in the Province of Pistoia located about 80 kilometers (50 mi) northwest of Florence and about 49 kilometers (30 mi) northwest of Pistoia. Located at 1388m., it is the most famous ski destination in central Italy, thanks to its 50 km of ski slopes and trails on Monte Gomito, Monte Cimone and Libro Aperto, which attract mountain hikers and cyclists that use the chair lifts. From the Gomito Mountain we will board the cableway and reach Monte Dente della Vecchia and two famous glacial lakes of the Apennines, Lago Nero and Lago Piatto. Located at 1730m, Lago Nero is surrounded by the imposing Apennine mountains which reach 2000m and owes its name to the gloomy reflection emanating from its waters. The Lago Piatto is a small lake of glacial origin located at an altitude of 1823 meters. In its clear waters the peak of the Alpe delle Tre Potenze is reflected. There are no permanent fish in the lakes, but there are two species of newts, protected ​ amphibians: the alpine and the crested. Around the lake you can see marmots and the golden eagle as well as the partridge and the buzzard. Among the flora are blueberry, the raspberry, the mountain pine, a variety of garlic, juniper, mountain pine, the mezzereo and the beech. After exploring the lakes we will make our way back to the cableway, enjoy a typical Tuscan lunch at a local restaurant and then transfer back to Montecatini Terme arriving in the evening.

    CONSERVARE LE TRACCE DELLA STORIA Il restauro dell’apparato lapideo di Palazzo dei Capitani della Montagna a Cutigliano Alessandro Suppressa e Antonella Galli Architetti, svolgono attività professionale nel territorio pistoiese, realizzando opere nel restauro di beni monumentali [email protected] [email protected] Il Palazzo dei Capitani della Montagna continua a rappresentare il fulcro intorno al quale si svolge il piccolo centro montano di Cutigliano in provincia di Pistoia. Sorge sulla fine del Trecento come residenza del Capitano della Montagna, un ufficiale designato da Firenze e preposto al governo delle zone montane pistoiesi. Nel 1377 le sette comunità della montagna riunite a Cutigliano stilano un contratto per l'acquisto di un terreno su cui edificare il palazzo. La mole chiusa e compatta dell'edificio, che rimanda ai palazzi pubblici sorti in Toscana durante i secoli XIII e XIV, nel corso del tempo è stata resa più articolata e meno austera dal progressivo inserimento degli stemmi dei Capitani che si sono succeduti nel governo di un'ampia parte della montagna pistoiese. Appaiono in una disposizione disordinata, come stratificata e sono spesso corredati da iscrizioni commemorative che riportano il nome dell'ufficiale e la durata del mandato; alcuni elementi ci sono giunti in stato di frammento, mentre per altri è stato possibile accertare una loro manomissione, non trovandosi nella collocazione originaria.
