Abstract

The protection of terraced landscapes is an objective that has gained the greatest attention after the recognition of dry stone walls as intangible Unesco in 2018. The starting point is the knowledge that starts from the analysis of the meaning and formal values that the types of walls introduce in morphologically complex landscapes. An ideal cognitive path follows, the awareness of the dry masonry technique and the numerous advantages it introduces to the environmental scale, up to the safeguarding of biodiversity.
The experience and the proactive aspects gained in some related contexts is an important reflection which, compared to the cognitive phase, is configured as the keystone for identifying permanent guidelines in the protection interventions of the terraces that constitute a great heritage of our country.
