Ripensare i confini. La città antica di Pompei e i siti minori del Parco archeologico nella buffer zone vesuviana

Abstract

The archaeological areas of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Torre Annunziata were included in the list of World Heritage sites in 1997. The archaeological park of Pompeii, in addition to the area contained within the walls and the perimeter area of the necropolis, is also responsible for the protection and enhancement of the 'minor sites' of Boscoreale, Civita Giuliana, Oplontis, Stabiae, Longola, Castello di Lettere, Bourbon factory and Quisisana Palace. These areas fall within the Buffer zone envisaged by the Unesco Plan which aims to enhance the 'satellite sites', also with a view to relieving the anthropic pressure on the ancient city of Pompeii, to differentiate the cultural offer and strengthen the infrastructural network of connection with the scope to become new attraction poles for cultural tourism. Within the strategic lines envisaged by the plan for the relaunch of the Buffer zone the contribution aims to illustrate possible development guidelines to create new urban connections between the ancient city of Pompeii and the neighboring sites, with a view to preserving the archaeological, urban and landscape values of the area and triggering strategies to enhance the Vesuvian archaeological 'system' with positive repercussions also on the economy and on the 'Heritage Community'.
