Da “luoghi” di scarto a “spazi” di innovazione. Piani e politiche per i territori agricoli periurbani
2014
Concerning the new post-metropolitan area, the peri-urban territories, also due to the vagueness of their structural components, have become po-lisemical and plural places. From border areas between urban and rural functions, they have turned into integration places dealing with those two functions, getting out indeed their own plural identities.

Future rural landscapes : the necessary co-evolution between agricultural landscape and energy landscape
2022
This article explores the ongoing transformation process affecting the agricultural and energy landscape. The complexity of the landscape (natural and artificial) in which we live, calls for urgent reflection on how to achieve effective integration between vegetation and the built environment. The landscape has always been subject to mutation. Man and the consequences of his actions have often been the trigger for it. Today we are in a necessary transition phase, especially from an energy point of view. The landscape will change again and this time more quickly because of the urgency imposed by the new policies implemented (European Green Deal, NRRP, etc.). The article emphasises the indisp…
