Rationale

  • Why do you think this case is relevant? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape challenges?
  • Format: 3-4 sentences

A Landscape System Analysis

A.1 Landscape layers and their system context

Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology

  • Description of evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the coastal typology changing? Why is that? (approx 200 signs)
  • add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Land use

  • settlements, infrastructure, agriculture, resource extraction, natural areas, energy production...
  • description of evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the land use likely to change? Why is that? (approx 200 signs)
  • add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Green/blue infrastructure

  • When considering the case study, the green areas are well represented by the Mediterranean flora and rich fauna. The Vesuvius National Park includes Mount Somma (from which the volcanic cone of Mount Vesuvius formed) and contains two Sites of community importance, on which a Special Protection Area overlaps. The Phlegraean Fields is a large volcanic area with 24 craters and volcanic edifices. Solfatara is an active volcanic crater with effusive gaseous manifestations, which emit sulfur ("solfo" is Italian for "sulfur"). Inland, the "blue" is present in the Astroni Natural Craters Reserve, which is also a Special Protection Area surrounded by forest and presents three lakes: Lago Grande, Cofaniello Piccolo and Cofaniello Grande, and here we find typical vegetation for wetlands. The blue represented by The Gaiola Underwater Park is a marine area of 42 hectares wich include the Naples gulf with flora and fauna typical of the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, the study area presents a strong touristic and economic development potential.
  • You find my background material on green infrastructure in our reading list
  • add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Actors and stakeholders

  • Who is driving changes in this landscape? Who is affected by those changes?
  • Draw a stakeholder and/or power map: Who is affected highly but with low power? Who has high power but is not affected?

Sacred spaces and heritage

Many puteolan place and elements hold cultural value and symbolic meaning.

- Campi Flegrei are a area north-west of Naples, which became a Regional Park in 2003. The name derives from the Greek phlegraios which means “burning”. In fact it is a large caldera in a quiescent state. The wealth of archaeological sites contributes to the charm of the area.

- Astroni Crater State Nature Reserve is one of the largest craters in the Campi Flegrei area. It is crossed by natural paths with observatories for birds. During the reign of the Bourbons it was a real hunting site.

- Solfatara is an ancient volcanic crater still active, but in a quiescent state. It preserves an activity of fumaroles of sulfur dioxide and it is a safety valve, since it allows the pressure of the underground gases to remain constant.

- Not far from the Amphitheater there is an Archaeological Park never open to the public. It includes a road, built the Greeks, a rustic villa and a sanctuary. Along the sides of the road, sepulchral areas were found and the main ones are in via Vicinale Celle and in the area of San Vito.

- Necropolis of Via Celle dates back to the 1stcentury AD. It stands along the stretch of the Consularis Puteolis-Capuam street. The area preserves 14 funerary mausoleums, the so-called columbaria.

- Also Necropolis of San Vito rises along the via Consularis Puteolis-Capuam. Six buildings surround a chamber on whose walls there are rows of niches for urns. Two mausoleums are columbaria.

- Flavio Amphitheater is the only fully preserved amphitheater. It recalls the Colosseum for the plant and the materials. It hosted shows and fights full of scenography. Its facade included three orders of overlapping arches. The cavea was divided into three tiers of terraces.

- The Villa Avellino Park was built in the 1500s by the princes Stigliano Column. The citrus grove, a Roman cryptoporticus, a covered gallery and a cistern called Centocamerelle are preserved. The pool consists of two orders of parallel rooms.

- In the '500s Puteolans built a the Sanctuary of San Gennaro alla solfatara. In the side chapels there are two relics: the stone on which San Gennaro was beheaded (on which, according to tradition, the black blood stains turn red in the days preceding the anniversary of his death, on 19 September) and the bust of the saint (to which many miracles are attributed).

- In the Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione King Ferdinand the 2nd and Queen Maria Teresa venerated a painting of the Madonna to protect her pregnancy. Since then, pregnant women began to ask the Madonna of the birth for a good pregnancy.

- The Church of Purificazione dates back to the 18th century and represents a place of culture. In it you can admire the remains of a crypt and ancient drainers.

- The Church of Raffaele Arcangelo is a small “baroque jewel” in the heart of the city of Pozzuoli. This small church is absolutely unique because it is baroque, but designed with classical rules. Inside there are numerous sculptural and pictorial works.

- The Monument to the Fallen on Work was created in 1980. On a stone pedestal, there is a sculpture in iron sheet. It recall the fallen in the primary, secondary and tertiary sector.

Visual appearance and landscape narrative

First dated fresco - 1st century - reflecting the nature of our study area is to be found in Stabiae, in Magna Graecia region overlooking the Gulf of Napels. Which is shaped by the eruption of M. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The drawing of "Gulff Baiae near Pozzuoli, represents the built structure to be found along the costal area, the building represents the Aragonese Castle and a a Roman bath, which used to be mistaken for temple of Venus. A landscape painter from Brandenburg, whos works were mostly done in Italy, drew the Gulf of Pozzuoli from Solfatara. Solfatara is a shallow volcanic crater forming a part of the Phlegraean Fileds.

The 20 years old young Januarius became the bishop of and later the patron saint of Naples, this iconic character shown in a copy of the lost original by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The Procession de saint Janvier a Naples painting by Antoine Jean Baptiste Thomas reflects the dominance and the tragedy of the volcanic eruption in 79 AD.

The study area was not only demonstrated by drawing, but by literature such as, De Balneis Puteolanis, a poem desrcibing various thermal baths in Campi Flegrei.

Furthermore it has been mentioned its history that Sulla, the Roman Dictator owned a country villa in the region, the apostle Paul landed here on his way to Rome...

From all these different types of documentations since the time of Roman Empire, we can tell that this charismatic and inspirational piece of landscape is important in both natural and anthropogenic histories of the region.
