ARCHEOLOGIA E TERRITORIO: DALL’ANALISI DEI DATI ARCHEOLOGICI ALLA PIANIFICAZIONE, GESTIONE E VALORIZZAZIONE DELLE AREE E DEI PARCHI DI INTERESSE ARCHEOLOGICO.

The purpose of this research was to pinpoint models in which to exploit the different expertieses of professionals in the field of the conservation and valorization of cultural heritage. The archaeologist, the art historian, the archivist are usually addressed only in case of necessity. I have colloborated with an équipe of engeneers, architects, geologists, biologists, who until that moment traditionally had worked together in the creation of urban and territorial planning without an archeologist or another professional engaged in cultural heritage. Preliminary I looked for a bibliography on each of the area object of the investigation, to reconstruct our knowledge of the topic so far acquired through archaeological investigations, surveys and focused on their approaches. Second, I worked in the archives of the Soprintendenza, starting from the administrative one in the historic section, then the graphic and photographic ones, where I have looked at all the excavations reports of the three areas considered. I analysed all the planimetry, most of which unpublished, I scanned and digitalized them through CAD to reconstruct the surfaces investigated archaeologically. These planimetries will be increased with the data from geological analysis, done after having checked the area through aereal photographies. In some of the excavated and not-yet-covered areas I personally carried out the reliefs, reconstructing the plans, the sections and the elevations. With the QGIS program I have reconstructed the entire cartography of the Potenza valley. This program allows you to add analytical sheets describing the monument to these plans. This work will be at the basis of the historical-archaeological investigation aiming at defining the zoning, providing references, guidelines, guidelines, and specific determinations for the implementation of the plan with the essential purpose of dividing the zones and identifying the different degrees of protection. Traditional norms for areas are flanked by rules for projects and rules for resources; both the normative categories capture relational design aspects able to go beyond any rigid division. To the normal urban planning prevailing in a single area, additional management rules have been added for each zone. From this base the architects will start in the positioning of the multi-services necessary for the construction of the parks, obviously keeping in mind the zoning that is based on the historical-archaeological survey and the alleys to be respected. The other aspect I considered for the precision I'm dealing with the 3D reconstruction of the most important monuments so far excavated in the areas taken into consideration: the Roman furnaces at San Severino Marche, the theatre at Villa Potenza and the west gate at Porto Recanati. These instances were produced with CAD programs. These virtual reconstructions will go with explanatory panels on the monument and reliefs of these areas. These 3D models were done with an innovative program called Agisoft Photoscan, which creates floor plans with full precision by using only vertical photos. I also used a GIS for the analysis of archaeological data; the outcome of this innovative system of study and data collection, integrated with heterogeneous data, will be of great use for the preparation of the plans of the Parks. In addition to the basic cartography in vector and raster form, the GIS will have thematic maps of administrative, infrastructural, naturalistic, archaeological interest. Three experimental models of management schemes for the Parks and Archaeological Areas of Potentia (Porto Recanati) Helvia Ricina (Macerata) Septempeda (San Severino Marche) have been elaborated. Experimentally the results will be disseminated thorugh a specially-conceived computer network exploiting open source platforms, for the exchange of information between the interested administrative parties. These experimental projects will be useful to use fully the resources, which could be invested in future on the basis of different funding channels on the Parks and shared quickly among all the subjects involved in the territorial management. Too often, in fact, the activities carried out in relation to these issues have been carried out by the various stakeholders (State, Region, Provinces, Municipalities) disjointly, with initiatives and projects responding to different logics and needs. If all these activities belong to different subjects and institutional competences, they must be integrated, subject to and in compliance with the specific functions and institutional responsibilities, which remain with the individual subjects, in order not to spread and waster the resources, but to achieve the common objectives of protection and enhancement.
