EN: The paper investigates, thanks to the case study of the territory of Cascia, the relationship that the ancient communities of the Alta Valnerina (PG) established with the landscape and the paths that crossed it, between the Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages (7th c. BC – 7th c. AD ca.). Through the analysis of the survey data and the elaboration of a model of the natural easy routes, the historical evolution of this relationship was analysed, resulting in a dialectic between continuity and discontinuity and between accommodation and modification. IT: Il contributo indaga, grazie al caso studio del territorio di Cascia, il rapporto che le antiche comunità dell'Alta Valnerina (PG) instaurarono con il paesaggio e i percorsi che l'attraversavano, tra l'età del Ferro e l'Alto Medioevo (VII sec. a.C.- VII sec. d.C. ca.). Attraverso l'analisi dei dati di ricognizione e l'elaborazione di un modello dei percorsi naturali di facile percorrenza si è analizzato l'evolversi storico di tale rapporto, risultante in una dialettica tra continuità e discontinuità e tra accomodamento e modificazione.

The periodic recurrence of earthquakes in seismogenic areas imposes a general rethinking of this phenomenon in all its aspects and its phases, from emergency, to building reconstruction and economic and social rebirth, with the full involvement of local populations in the view objective of ‘re-inhabiting’ places., Scienze del Territorio, Vol 7 (2019): Territori fragili.

This paper is aimed at presenting a semiautomatic procedure that, coupled with conventional methods, can be useful for a prompt definition of rock fall susceptibility scenarios with civil protection purposes. Due to its landscape morphology (steep slopes and narrow valley), regional seismicity, and rock mass characteristics, the Nera Valley (Valnerina, Umbria Region, Italy) is highly prone to rock falls. In order to cover a wide range of features and investigate the main advantages and drawbacks of the proposed approach, data collection was carried out in three different slopes by means of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and geomechanical surveys. Detailed three-dimensional (3D) terrain models were reconstructed to obtain the geometry of the most unstable blocks, to define the position of the main rock fall source areas, and to precisely distinguish the outcropping materials and the position of the elements at risk for reliable runout analyses. Consequently, the proposed approach can positively support proper maintenance and land management programs both in ordinary and in emergency circumstances.

The primary objective of this paper is to present a semiautomatic procedure that, integrated with traditional methods, can be useful for a rapid definition of rock fall susceptibility scenarios with the purpose of civil protection. Due to its morphology (steep slopes and narrow valleys), regional seismicity, and rock mass characteristics, the Nera Valley (Valnerina, Umbria Region, Italy) is characterized by high rock fall risk. With the aim of covering a wide range of features and investigating the main advantages and drawbacks of the proposed approach, data collection (terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and geomechanical surveys) was carried out at three different slopes. Detailed three-dimensional (3D) models were created to reconstruct the shape and volume of the most unstable blocks, to define the position of the main rock fall source areas, and to precisely distinguish the outcropping materials and the position of the elements at risk for reliable runout analyses. The proposed approach can be useful in supporting proper maintenance and land management programs both in ordinary and in emergency circumstances.

L’articolo si focalizza sull’attribuzione di un’inedita statua a Silvestro di Giacomo da Sulmona, meglio noto come Silvestro dell’Aquila (documentato dal 1471-1504) e un’altra a Saturnino Gatti (1463 circa-1518), protagonisti della scultura del Rinascimento in Abruzzo. La prima proposta riguarda un San Sebastiano ligneo, grande poco meno del vero, conservato nella chiesa di Santa Maria ad Nives di Rocca di Mezzo, principale centro dell’Altipiano delle Rocche e paese natale del celebre cardinale Amico Agnifili, committente di Silvestro di Giacomo. La seconda acquisizione concerne una scultura lignea grande al naturale raffigurante San Vito, rintracciata nell’omonima chiesa di Colle San Vito, nel comune di Tornimparte, situata a pochi passi dagli affreschi eseguiti da Saturnino Gatti tra il 1490 e il 1494 in San Panfilo a Villagrande. Grazie ad un’analisi dei diversi contesti in cui si generarono le sculture e soprattutto attraverso stringenti confronti con opere note del catalogo dei due artisti si può riferire la prima statua alla tarda produzione di Silvestro dell’Aquila e la seconda al periodo di maturità di Saturnino Gatti. The article focuses on the attribution of two unpublished wooden statues respectively realized by two masters of Renaissance sculpture in Abruzzo: Silvestro di Giacomo, known as Silvestro dell’Aquila (whose activity is documented at L’Aquila from 1471 to 1504); and Saturnino Gatti. The scultpure attributed to Silvestro dell’Aquila portrays Saint Sebastian, and is of almost life-size dimensions. It was spotted out inside the church of Santa Maria ad Nives at Rocca di Mezzo, the most renowned village on the upland of «Le Rocche», in the nearbies of L’Aquila; it was the birthplace of Cardinal Amico Agnifili, who happened to be Silvestro’s patron. The second statue, by Saturnino Gatti, represents Saint Vitus and is hold in the homonymous church at Colle San Vito in the municipal district of Tomimparte; this sanctuary is at a short distance from the church of Saint Pamphilus in Villagrande at Tomimparte, which was frescoed by Gatti between 1490 and 1494. An analysis of the contexts for which the sculptures were conceived, along with convincing comparisons with other works by the two artists, led us to attribute the first statue to the late production of Silvestro, and the second one to the full maturity of Saturnino., IL CAPITALE CULTURALE.
