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.

    Hi would you mind stating which blog platform
    you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having
    a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and
    I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but
    I had to ask!

    When someone writes an piece of writing he/she keeps the image of a user
    in his/her brain that how a user can be aware of it.
    Thus that's why this piece of writing is great. Thanks!

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was
    wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming
    having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not
    very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any
    suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

    I'm not sure exactly why but this web site is loading incredibly slow for me.
    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue
    on my end? I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
