Paesaggi dell'Appenino Ligure Orientale

The work is placed among the conclusive considerations as to the aims attained in the research suggested by the University of Genua ( co-ordinator Annalisa Calcagno Maniglio ) and financed by the University and the Scientific and Technological Research Ministry. It is a voyage at the discovery of the least known , but not the least interesting landscape aspects of the Valle Sturla, an area situated almost entirely in the administrative boundaries of the Commune of Borzonasca, in the province of Genua. The text is composed of two parts. In the first part some peculiar characteristics of the valley landscape, i.e. The monumental trees in the wide chestnut woods, or monumental cypresses qualifying the surroundings near important religious buildings are mentioned. In the second part the author has spoken about the traditional villages formed by small narrow groups arranged in constellations. The aim of “The European Convention of the Landscape” subscribed in Florence in October 2000 has been achieved and a strategic centrality of the unknown aspects of the landscape has been attained.
