E LE CAVE CONTINUANO A FUNZIONARE. INDUSTRIA ESTRATTIVA, GRANDI OPERE E TUTELA DEL PAESAGGIO LUBRENSE NEL PRIMO DOPOGUERRA

Written by  Giuseppe Pignatelli Dic 05, 2019

From the early 20th century, and for fifty years over, the Massa Lubrense coast – at the far end of the Sorrento peninsula – hosted many limestone quarries that have quickly taken the place of the traditional extractive activities. Pushed by the growing demand for raw materials, necessary for the great public works envisaged by the law regarding the Economical Development of Naples (1904), and those financed by the Neapolitan High Commission (1925-‘36), the quarry industries have irreparably modified the morphology of large portions of the coast between the bays of Puolo and Recommone. Therefore, it is not a coincidence that the first oppositions into the destruction of this extraordinary natural context will arise from Capri, where in July 1922 was organized the first Landscape Conference by the island mayor, Edwin Cerio. The conference, a local and national extraordinary event at the same time, allowed to reflect on the recent Italian law regarding the Protection of Natural Beauty, laying the foundations for the development of a true 'national landscape conscience'. Thanks above all to Cerio and to the Massa Lubrense mayor, Salvatore Cerulli, in the following years will be at last listened the condemnations by Norman Douglas, Gino Doria and, later, Roberto Pane, contributing so to the progressive closure of the lubrense quarries by the mid-century.

    Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

    A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make
    my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design.
    Thanks a lot

    Right now it sounds like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

    Howdy, I think your website may be having web browser compatibility issues.
    Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari,
    it looks fine but when opening in IE, it's got some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that,
    great website!
