Abstract

Viticulture, together with olive cultivation, represents the main productive use of Italian terracing. By means of photo-cartographic analyses, this article reconstructs a localized and size-related picture of the country’s principal terraced viticulture systems. It analyses their historical processes from the beginning and the correlated causes of abandonment which have affected them, with significant consequences for the hydro-geological assets of the slopes concerned. Finally, it highlights the limits and necessities of the political-territorial actions developed around these realities.
La viticultura, junto con la oleicultura, representa el principal uso productivo de las terrazas de cultivo en Italia. Mediante análisis fotocartográficos, este artículo reconstruye el tamaño y la localización de los principales sistemas de viticultura en terrazas del País. Se analizan sus procesos “genéticos” y las causas de abandono que los han afectado, con consecuencias significativas sobre el régimen hidrogeológico de las laderas en cuestión. Posterior-mente, el artículo presenta los límites y las necesidades de las acciones político-territoriales desarrolladas en torno a estas realidades.
