Cultural landscape and royal historical system in piedmont region

Abstract

The Conference of Krak clarified the meaning of cultural landscape as the result of the prolonged interaction in different societies between man, nature and the physical environment.It is testimony to the evolving relationship of communities, individuals and their environment. Its conservation, preservation and development focus on human and natural features, integrating material and intangible values.the contribution develops the relationship between conservation and sustainability, seen as the exploitation of the heritage, virtuous propeller for the expansion of these environments, which have been influenced by a historical continuity of functions and have been the economic source for noble complexes, such as holiday destinations or temporary residences of the owners.The land, crops and historical sediments represent a complex heritage of artistic and cultural as well as economic values.The idea is to identify, in addition to the recognition of certain places and objects as heritage of interest (world, European and national), the historical systems connected to it, to propose strategies destined to pursue continuity in this virtuous historical relationship or new programmes that take part in this aim. Yet, these presences and their systems are currently besieged by politically and economically driven local transformation processes and by plans and legislation that are often indifferent to their values and have little involvement in the communities concerned.
