Conference on historic cultural identity of the Bassa Padovana and bicycle ride

Event aimed at the whole community, schools, associations, institutions, experts, individual stakeholders.

Objective: create suggestions inspired by the experiences of the study and design of each speaker in order to interpret or reinterpret the role of Venetian villas and territories interested in social, cultural, environmental, but also economic, all in a sustainability perspective.
The elements discussed are intended as stimuli for new projects for the promotion and enhancement of the Veneto villas and their territories. The conference wants to be the same opportunity to "network" between the stakeholders.

It is expected to articulate the convention in the following sections: villas and land, education for sustainable development, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage.

The conference, held by Prof. Brogiolo, Prof. Chavarria and Dr. Sarabia will be focused on the research developed within the MEMOLA project, in relation to the area of the Euganean Hills and the Adige river, giving account of the results of research on landscape highlighting the innovative aspects of methodology and promotion of cultural heritage with community involvement.

La biodiversità degli agroecosistemi di Sicilia: antichi fruttiferi

I paesaggi culturali, con i loro agroecosistemi, sono il luogo dove si è conservata la biodiversità delle piante spontanee e generata la biodiversità delle piante coltivate. Per quanto riguarda la ricchezza dell’attuale patrimonio varietale di piante da frutto, questo è il risultato di un millenario processo di introduzione e addomesticazione avvenuto in diverse epoche storiche e, pertanto, strettamente legato alle popolazioni che si sono avvicendate in Sicilia.

Il Progetto FP7 MEMOLA ha tra gli obiettivi la comprensione dei processi storici di formazione del paesaggio per delineare strategie di conservazione, diffusione e valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale (materie ed immateriale) e ambientale. Per questo motivo si stanno portando avanti delle attività di diffusione e valorizzazione della biodiversità delle piante coltivate attraverso seminari, attività formative e questo video divulgativo.

New Book on Historic Landscapes

A. Chavarría Arnau, A. Reynolds (eds.), 2015: Detecting and understanding historic landscapes, PCA Studies 2, SAP SOCIETÀ ARCHEOLOGICA S.R.L., Mantova.

The origins of this book lay in the international summer school "Detecting and interpreting landscape transformation" held in the inspiring setting of the Euganean Hills south of Padua, Italy in September 2013. The variety of methods, techniques, themes and topics covered during the summer school fairly reflected the current state of play in the field of landscape archaeology as broadly defined. As a result the publishing of this book was conceived to provide a practical guide to studying the archaeology of historic landscapes covering innovative approaches and methods, in the hope that it can serve as work of reference for archaeologist, academics and other professionals interested in the understanding of historic landscapes.

The book is composed of 16 chapters, written by outstanding international specialists, which allow the reader to understand how comprehensive research on historic landscape can be achieved. Special care has been taken in assuring the homogeneity of the different texts, which include separate illustrative case studies, box features and suggested further reading on the various topics in order to provide a useful tool for the teaching of landscape archaeology.

Biodiversity in Sicilian Agroecosystems: the old fruit trees

Cultural landscapes, with their agricultural ecosystems, are the place where the biodiversity of wild plants has been preserved and biodiversity of cultivates plants was generated. The current richness of fruit trees varieties is the result of a millennial process of introduction and domestication occurred in different historical periods and, therefore, closely linked to the people who come through Sicily.

One of the objective of the FP7 MEMOLA Project is understanding the processes of historical landscapes formation to draw strategies of preservation, diffusion and valorisation of the cultural heritage (both tangible and intangible) and of the environment.

For this reason, we are carrying out activities of dissemination in regards of cultivated plants biodiversity through workshops, training activities and this informative video.
