Il paesaggio terrazzato vitato in Italia

Italian terraced vineyard landscapes, such as those along the Amalfi Coast, represent a dynamic interplay between human ingenuity and ecological resilience. These 'built landscapes' have sustained marginal regions for centuries by integrating agricultural productivity with cultural and environmental functions. However, contemporary challenges—including agricultural abandonment, hydrogeological risks, tourism pressure, and climate change—threaten their survival. The study highlights that these terraces are not relics but living systems where traditional practices and modern technology can coexist sustainably. Their preservation depends on multifaceted governance strategies that balance agricultural needs, ecological protection, and cultural heritage. By serving as 'laboratories' for sustainable development, these landscapes offer critical insights for the future of Mediterranean rural areas.
