| Summary: | A 4,000-kilometer journey exploring a little-known network uniting highways, back roads, forests, parks, rivers, and nature reserves throughout the Italian peninsula. Giada Ripa?s photos form an itinerary of landscapes traversing Italy, North to South, focusing on five regions: Friuli, Lombardy, Tuscany, Abruzzo, and Sicily.00The aim of this refined volume is to commend the respect and conservation of nature and of a territory?s original habitat, as well as the reforestation and re-naturalization efforts in extensive parkland areas of Italy.00The visual narrative created by Giada Ripa?s photographs/postcards, supplemented with maps and images from the Snam archive, brings to light the genius loci of each territory, emphasizing the wealth of each environment. This account is not limited to a photographic album; rather, it calls upon champions from each area who, through engaging interviews, describe the positive impact on its territory of the commitment of an important local business. Concrete examples of this cooperation are the environmental revival carried out in the Prealpi Giulie Nature Reserve in Friuli, the conservation of local species of flowers carried out with the cooperation of the Botanical Gardens in Palermo, and stretches of land made available and leased free of charge.00Thus, The Thin Line represents a hope, but also an awareness of the territory and of those who not only inhabit it now, but will come to inhabit it in the future. |
