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

Green/blue infrastructure

Blue and Green infrastructures provides planners, developers and citizens with opportunities to rethink their relationships with the environment. Due to the strong presence of these in the territory, in the study area these represent a potential resource for the development of sustainable economies and tourism.

• The Gauro mountain represents the highest volcanic building in the Phlegrean area. The structure is in yellow tuff, in fact, there are some tuff caves now closed. It is in a central position respect to the regional park of the Phlegrean fields. Its structure is bounded by the peaks of Monte Barbaro and Monte Sant'Angelo and is degraded due to atmospheric agents. The mountain is also recognizable from the port of Pozzuoli.
• The port of Pozzuoli has been of great importance since the ancient Greeks. It over the last two thousand years has had several changes due to alterations in the coastline, because of bradyseism. Originally the port was ahead of the current one, while in 1200 the sea reached the area where today it is the Cumana. A new raising is gradually pushing the shoreline away.Many boats leave from the port of Pozzuoli to devote themselves to fishing which is a very important resource for the Phlegraean town.

The Natura 2000 network, provides the enhancement and protection of green spaces, as a habitat of flora and fauna characteristic of the Phlegrean territory, but also because they represent green lungs in an area with a high rate of urbanization. The Mount Gauro,the underwater archaeological reserve of Baia and the Pozzuoli coast represent a uniqueness in the landscape and a place that increases the healthiness of citizens, according to the PUC of Pozzuoli of 2016.The restitution of the Phlegrean coast to the citizens and the protection of marine biodiversity, would lead a strong increase in tourism and economic activities, as well as a greater awareness of the users.

Actors and stakeholders

• The archaeological sit Rione Terra is run by the Municipality of Pozzuoli. In the 90s, a restoration project was initiated and a first section, about half of Rione, now has buildings which have been completely saved and restored. The area is known for its naturalistic, landscape, cultural and archaeological uniqueness. Also, there are some other people, who helps to improve the area, such as locals, business man, investors, and even tourists.

Visual appearance and landscape narrative

• Over the time, for many painters and artists Rione Terra represented a great scenario for their works. Perhaps, the history had an important role that appealed many masters of the beautiful arts, from the Roman colony that dates since 194 BC and Greek influences, to the reconstruction of a new city in the last 50 years. The landscape and natural elements of Rione Terra have been caught in several paintings such as the Frantz Loudwig Castle-Pozzuoli by Gabriele Smargiassi and Rione Terra a Pozzouli by Consalvo Carrelli, both of them realized in the 19th century. In these works we can see the relation between water and cliffs and also the layers of the natural environment. In the background, even with its positions is far from the principal settlement, they have marked the horizon line with the silhouette of Vesuvius Vulcano that seems to have a big impact on the global image.
• Furthermore, Rione Terra and her surroundings have represented the filming location for a number of movies and documentaries. One of them, The Vesuvians (italian: I vesuviani), was directed by Mario Martone in 1997 and tells the story of a fisherman living in Rione Terra. The harbor, the old streets, the waves breaking on the shore as well as the Vesuvio volcano were often chosen as a background for the movie scenes. Another movie that captures the coastal landscape of Pozzuoli is The man from the U.N.C.L.E., directed by Guy Ritchie in 2015.
