Terraced landscapes were for centuries forms of sustainable and multifunctional land management, results of a long and intimate relationship between peoples and their environment. They demonstrated a rich cultural diversity and agrobiodiversity through sustainable land-use systems. These productive cultural landscapes in many cases were expressions of a pre-industrial circular model of rural development, where no resource was wasted. However, not all terraced landscapes have to be considered sustainable in themselves: in recent times, the terraces have undergone changes that have threatened their sustainability with abandonment and degradation as well as exclusively productive exploitation. This paper explores whether and how terraced landscape can recover an active role in modern society, analyzing emerging terraces recovery practices from the perspective of the circular economy. Innovative circular and productive uses of abandoned terraced landscapes aim at reducing the waste of natural and cultural resources, enlarging the lifetime (use value) of landscapes and preserving cultural and natural values for present and future generations. Results show that new functional uses of terraced landscapes are able to enhance in different ways their role as “middle landscapes” or places of mediation among economic, ecologic, ethical and aesthetic needs through circular adaptive reuse practices, becoming key drivers of new “circular” economies and a new pact between rural and urban regions.
Disposizioni per l'utilizzazione dei terreni di montagna abbandonati Presentata il 29 aprile 2008ONOREVOLI COLLEGHI ! -La montagna, almeno quella priva di forti risorse turistiche, subisce da tempo una lenta erosione di popolazione residente e, quindi, di attività produttive: ciascuno dei due fenomeni alimenta l'altro. Una politica di contrasto, volta ad attrarre persone o quanto meno a trattenere i residenti, incontra ostacoli, tra l'altro, nel frazionamento delle proprietà montane e nella notevole quantità di terreni incolti e inutilizzati. Le forti migrazioni di un secolo fa, non seguite né dal ritorno dei migranti né dal subentro di altri familiari nelle colture, hanno determinato l'abbandono di vasti appezzamenti, spesso di pregio, e la susseguente polverizzazione formale della proprietà in una miriade di eredi, quasi sempre lontani e inattivi, spesso addirittura sconosciuti.Queste terre potrebbero essere utilizzate (specie con il supporto di incentivi, molti dei quali già previsti), se fosse possibile affidarle a persone che si impegnino a coltivarle, a insediarvi allevamenti, a installarvi piccole o medie attività produttive, delle quali la montagna ha grande bisogno. Ma ciò non è consentito dalla legislazione vigente perché, come è noto, l'espropriazione può avvenire solamente per « pubblica », e non per privata, utilità. È quindi necessario intervenire con apposite norme di legge.Il quadro normativo in tema di limitazioni della proprietà privata è composito e ormai notevolmente articolato: a) l'articolo 42, terzo comma, della Costituzione stabilisce che « La proprietà privata può essere, nei casi preveduti dalla legge, e salvo indennizzo, espropriata per motivi d'interesse generale ».Peraltro, l'articolo 44, primo comma, specifica che: « Al fine di conseguire il razionale sfruttamento del suolo e di stabilire equi rapporti sociali, la legge impone obblighi e vincoli alla proprietà terriera privata (...) promuove (...) la ricostituzione delle unità produttive » e al secondo comma aggiunge che: « La legge dispone provvedimenti a favore delle zone montane ».Atti Parlamentari -1 -Camera dei Deputati
This article describes an experience of geographic filmmaking carried\ud out within a long-term research process (2000–2012) involving\ud the terraced landscape of the Brenta Valley in the Italian Alps. The\ud documentary Piccola terra [Small land] (2012) was co-produced by\ud geographers and professional directors. Engaging in the recent\ud debate on filmic geographies, the aim of this article is to discuss and\ud show what makes a film ‘geographic’. The geographer authored a\ud filmic interpretation of landscape which is spatially and temporally\ud complex, open and mobile, anchored to material features and to\ud personal stories and socio-economic contexts. Produced to support\ud a campaign for the adoption of abandoned terraces by ‘new farmers’,\ud the documentary Piccola terra serves as a means to engage society\ud and produce landscape change. Geographic filmmaking as an action-,\ud public- and social-oriented activity is discussed with reference to the\ud so-called ‘impact agenda’. We propose a style of active engagement\ud through filmmaking which is workable, rather than critical. In order\ud to avoid purely auto-reflective, auto-referential academic speculation\ud on doing filmic and public geographies, this paper, which ideally is\ud read along with viewing of the documentary, materially enters the\ud researched/filmed landscape, developing into a supplementary tool\ud for the international dissemination of Piccola terra
