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.

    Does your site have a contact page? I'm having trouble locating
    it but, I'd like to send you an e-mail. I've got some ideas for your
    blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
    could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only
    having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Definitely believe that which you said. Your favourite
    justification appeared to be on the internet the easiest
    thing to consider of. I say to you, I certainly get
    annoyed whilst other folks think about concerns that
    they just don't realize about. You controlled
    to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as outlined out the entire thing
    without having side-effects , other people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thank you

    I was skeptical, but after a month of trading, the wide token selection convinced me.

    Hello! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My weblog looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone.
    I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Cheers!
