Structural handicaps, lack of services, and depopulation problems are the keywords that are used to define the so-called internal areas that represent almost 70% of the Italian territories.

Handicap strutturali, mancanza di servizi e spopolamento sono le parole chiave che vengono utilizzate per definire le così dette aree interne che rappresentano quasi il 70% dei territori italiani. D’altra parte, questi territori presentano un grande potenziale grazie alle loro tradizioni, cultura, bellezza, naturalità e saperi antichi. È il caso della Valle Camonica e lago Sebino; che possono essere definiti come un museo diffuso in una vallata che si estende per più di 150 km dal lago ai piedi delle Prealpi fino ai picchi alpini e al ghiacciaio dell’Adamello. Tra le varie attrazioni turistiche spicca il primo sito UNESCO riconosciuto in Italia nel 1979: si tratta di graffiti rupestri risalenti a più di 10.000 anni fa, grazie ai quali la valle viene soprannominata “valle dei segni”. Nonostante l’enorme potenziale, il sistema turistico della valle è arretrato in paragone con altre realtà simili e l’andamento demografico conferma lo spopolamento. Inoltre, il settore industriale sviluppatosi largamente lungo il fondovalle, ha radici antiche storicamente importanti per l’economia della valle, ma oggi è percepibile come elemento di degrado e abbandono. I principali obiettivi della tesi sono quelli di dare nuova vita al patrimonio abbandonato, innescare lo sviluppo del turismo lento lungo itinerari di mobilità dolce, creare servizi per i viaggiatori e per la popolazione locale e dare impulso economico a quest’area soggetta da spopolamento. Il concept del progetto parte dall’investigazione di 3 tematiche: creatività territoriale, habitat vision e resilienza. Lo scenario futuro delineato dalla tesi si basa dunque, sull’utilizzo di risorse territoriali esistenti per dare vita a un programma sistematico di interventi atti alla resilienza di questi luoghi periferici dal ricco potenziale attrattivo.

Abstract
Structural handicaps, lack of services, and depopulation problems are the keywords that are used to define the so-called internal areas that represent almost 70% of the Italian territories. On the other hand, these territories have great potential thanks to their traditions, culture, beauty, naturalness, and ancient knowledge. This is the case of the Camonica Valley and Sebino Lake; which can be defined as a widespread museum in a valley that extends for more than 150 km from the lake at the foot of the Prealps to the alps peaks and Adamello glacier. Among the various tourist attractions, the first UNESCO site recognized in Italy in 1979 stands out: it is rock graffiti dating back to more than 10,000 years ago, thanks to which the valley is nicknamed "valley of landmarks". Despite the enormous potential, the valley's tourism system is backward in comparison with other similar realities and the demographic trend confirms the depopulation. In addition, the industrial sector that has developed largely along the valley floor has its ancient roots that are historically important for the economy of the valley, but today it is perceptible as an element of decay and abandonment. The main objectives of the thesis are to give new life to the abandoned heritage, to trigger the development of slow tourism along soft mobility itineraries, to create services for travelers and for the local population, and to give economic input to those areas affected by depopulation. The concept of the project starts from the investigation of 3 themes: territorial creativity, habitat vision, and resilience reserve. The future scenario outlined by the thesis is therefore based on the use of existing territorial resources to give life to a systematic program of interventions aimed at the resilience of these peripheral places with rich attractive potential.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
