I ciabòt del sito UNESCO Langhe-Roero e Monferrato: problematiche di conservazione delle architetture rurali fragili quali componenti storico-culturali dei paesaggi vitivinicoli

Abstract

This paper sets the objective to verify, eight years after the recognition of the exceptional universal value of the UNESCO site Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, which strategies have been adopted to save the memory value and resource role of the ciabòt, typology of rural architecture characterizing the landscape framework of the area. Which guidelines does the Piedmont Landscape Plan provide? Do censuses and variants to urban plans represent effective tools? Through an examination of the Site, the research has investigated the outcome of the protection actions undertaken - through the updating of planning tools and the declarations of notable cultural interest, consequent to the approval of the 2017 Regional Landscape Plan - and has discussed conservation and management issues related to this fragile heritage, with a perspective on culturally sustainable development.
