Il paesaggio rurale della Valle dell’Amaseno. Strategie di valorizzazione e fruizione sostenibile

Rural landscape of the “Valle dell’Amaseno”: valorization strategies and sustainable fruition This paper examines the rural landscape of the Valle dell’Amaseno, that proved to be useful to bring out the semiotic components of territorialization, the set of cognitive and material sediments, identity, productive and constructive knowledges related to the sense of belonging to a given place. The geostoric research has been enriched through the integration of the analysis of the land where the local societies were actively involved in a dynamic process aimed at reconstructing the cultural and identity processes that gave life to the current rural landscape. In order to promote knowledge, enhancement and fruition of the territory, a precise methodology based on ecotourism and participated work with local communities has been developed. The final result is the cultural portal www. valledellamaseno.it, a storytelling tool of the territory and, at the same time, a means for cultural transmission that links communities and territories in a social network.
