Résumé Le territoire de l’Irpinia (Apennin méridional, Campanie, Italie) a été en grande partie préservé de la «Grande Transformation» territoriale survenue après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les aspects de l’architecture naturelle du territoire et les singularités de l’environnement témoignent d’une conservation presque intacte de son patrimoine paysager. Basé sur une combinaison originale de traits géologiques et géomorphologiques, le relief a été le support de nombreuses civilisations qui ont toutes laissé dans le paysage des signes reconnaissables de leur passage. Située non loin de la côte campanienne, où se trouvent des sites de valeur mondiale comme Naples, Pompéi, le Vésuve, Sorrente, etc… l’Irpinia n’est toutefois pas dénuée de centres d’intérêt culturels et didactiques, propices à un tourisme de qualité lié aux sports d’hiver, aux excursions et à la gastronomie, en particulier des vins et des huiles de grande valeur, maintenant exportés dans le monde entier. En outre, nombre de localités font le trait d’union entre les sciences de l’Homme et les sciences de la Terre car les phénomènes géologiques et géomorphologiques ont continuellement accompagné le développement historique des populations locales, qui se reconnaissent dans leur paysage. Les singularités géologiques ont en effet inspiré la sacralité d’un grand nombre de sites et l’imagination des artistes. Le géotourisme peut donc ranimer la curiosité pour ces lieux déjà très connus et fréquentés des érudits voyageurs du Grand Tour, représentant une perspective neuve de développement durable dans un territoire à l’économie chancelante, où la modernisation et l’industrialisation ont fait faillite. Pour exploiter complètement les ressources touristiques décrites dans la première partie de cet essai, de nouvelles compétences sont exigées : c’est à cette condition que les inter-relations entre Sciences de la Terre et Sciences de l’Homme dans le domaine du paysage seront pleinement mises en valeur. Selon les auteurs, une telle profession n’existe pas encore. Mais il est nécessaire de favoriser le développement de ce géotourisme à forte connotation culturelle, de plus en plus nécessaire, conformément aux recherches les plus récentes.
Abstract Cultural and economic growth of a marginal territory through Geotourism: Irpinia (Campania, Italy). – The Landscape of Irpinia (Campania, Italy) is one of the few Italian landscapes which, to a large extent, has been preserved from the “Great Transformation” which started after the Second World War. Both the natural architectures and the environmental specificities of this area testify an almost perfect maintenance of the local landscape resources, these latter resulting from the peculiar combination of geological and geomorphological features, on which the signs of numerous civilizations superimposed and are currently clearly recognizable. Irpinia is located not far away from the Campanian coastal stretch, where very famous touristical sites are present. The Hirpinian landscape could potentially show its high cultural value, also of didactic interest, in the framework of a high-quality tourism, based on winter-sports activities in mountainous areas, naturalistic trekking, tours of archaeological sites and monuments, tasting local gastronomic products, such as fine oils and wines, famous all over the world (e.g., Taurasi wine). Many hirpinian areas could represent also a link of great interest between the Human and Earth Sciences, as the geological and geomorphological processes always deeply interacted with the historical development of the local populations. For example, many geological specificities inspired the sacrality of some sites and the creativity of the artists. Certainly, Geotourism could create and/or increase interest around these sites of high cultural and naturalistic value, which were visited and described by learned travellers of the “Grand Tour”. In this way Geotourism could represent a new perspective of sustainable development for these areas, whose a weak economy primarily based on agriculture has not had help from the industrialization and modernization. To exploit the touristic resources, just described in the first part of this essay, are required new abilities in Earth and Humanistic Sciences to understand their mutual interrelationships in the hirpinian history of landscape. To the knowledge of Authors, such a profession is not currently available, but it is necessary to expand a tourism with a salient cultural connotation, more and more needed, according to recently-published data.

Abstract
Abstract Cultural and economic growth of a marginal territory through Geotourism: Irpinia (Campania, Italy). – The Landscape of Irpinia (Campania, Italy) is one of the few Italian landscapes which, to a large extent, has been preserved from the “Great Transformation” which started after the Second World War. Both the natural architectures and the environmental specificities of this area testify an almost perfect maintenance of the local landscape resources, these latter resulting from the peculiar combination of geological and geomorphological features, on which the signs of numerous civilizations superimposed and are currently clearly recognizable. Irpinia is located not far away from the Campanian coastal stretch, where very famous touristical sites are present. The Hirpinian landscape could potentially show its high cultural value, also of didactic interest, in the framework of a high-quality tourism, based on winter-sports activities in mountainous areas, naturalistic trekking, tours of archaeological sites and monuments, tasting local gastronomic products, such as fine oils and wines, famous all over the world (e.g., Taurasi wine). Many hirpinian areas could represent also a link of great interest between the Human and Earth Sciences, as the geological and geomorphological processes always deeply interacted with the historical development of the local populations. For example, many geological specificities inspired the sacrality of some sites and the creativity of the artists. Certainly, Geotourism could create and/or increase interest around these sites of high cultural and naturalistic value, which were visited and described by learned travellers of the “Grand Tour”. In this way Geotourism could represent a new perspective of sustainable development for these areas, whose a weak economy primarily based on agriculture has not had help from the industrialization and modernization. To exploit the touristic resources, just described in the first part of this essay, are required new abilities in Earth and Humanistic Sciences to understand their mutual interrelationships in the hirpinian history of landscape. To the knowledge of Authors, such a profession is not currently available, but it is necessary to expand a tourism with a salient cultural connotation, more and more needed, according to recently-published data.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
