Between 1880 and the outbreak of World War One, a large movement
for landscape and nature protection flourished in Europe, driven
primarily by a nationalist culture, but also featuring a strong
international outlook. In contrast to the post-World War Two
period, the lines in the movement's objectives between wilderness,
landscape and cultural and artistic heritage were very blurred, and
scientific and humanistic knowledge both played an equally
important role. In Italy, a network of associations and
institutions was built up and then eventually faded between 1885
and the beginning of the 1930s. Although this network did not
succeed in deeply influencing the scientific and civic culture of
the country, it achieved important successes and placed Italy at
the forefront of Europe in terms of environmental and landscape
protection. Among the most significant results of this mobilisation
was the law of 1923 for the defence of natural beauty, which later
formed the basis of Article 9 of the Constitution of 1948, and the
creation of the national parks of Gran Paradiso and Abruzzo, among
the first to be established in Europe. This book analytically
reconstructs the events of the nature protection movement,
contextualising them in the cultural and political-institutional
climate of the time; highlights the movement's full inclusion in
contemporary European protectionist initiatives; and attempts to
take stock of its significance and historical legacy.
On September 9th, 2012, the Abruzzo National Park - now Abruzzo,
Latium and Molise National Park - celebrated its ninetieth
birthday. It is - along with the Gran Paradiso National Park - the
oldest protected area in Italy and one of the oldest in Europe. The
colloquium held in Pescasseroli in May 2012, on which this volume
is based, reconstructed the highlights of the Park's troubled but
always influential history and took stock of its connections with
the other protected areas, with Italian and international
environmentalism and with the Italian society at large.
