The Lucania Apennines. A Neo-Anthropocene landscape

Abstract

The contribution offers a cross-section of the situation of the Italian landscape through the reflection about the principle of "landscape as a human right" and looking at the way in which territorial policies are able to create, or deform, landscapes through targeted and specific actions in agriculture or energy policies fields. The specific condition of the Park of the "Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Laonegrese" in Southern Italy (Basilicata) is used to show how a process of territorial planning of the Park can be an opportunity to rethink the creation of landscapes under the light of conditions related to uses agricultural and energy resources of the territory, in a compatible way with the protection of nature.
