Landscape and image: perception of authenticity and identity of places (original) (raw)

A site like Crapolla leads us to recognize the special complexity of the issue and we have to underline several aspects that are inherent in the interventions but, above all, in their interpretative dimension. This means that it is essential that the debate on the landscape and its conservation, protection and enhancement must be based on a rigorous theoretical approach. We cannot forget that the quality of interventions depends on the depth of the notions’ considerations, because the foundations and groundings coincide. So, just a few considerations will be made as regards those associations between the landscape and the elements that make up the entity of the cultural landscape. However, we have to consider the landscape as an inclusive dimension. In particular, it seems to be, and this is especially true in the twentieth century, a big box where different elements take place. But we could understand this changing and inclusive significance through documents, recommendations and conventions too.
