Abstract
Since its foundation the Regione Toscana (Tuscan Region) has chosen to integrate both the protection and conservation of landscape within its territorial planning and to build a “chain” among the different planning levels (regional, provincial and urban/municipal). It is in this context that the new regional landscape plan, which is part of the PIT (Territorial Address Plan of Region), is born. Thanks to a specific agreement between the Ministry and the Regione Toscana, the hierarchical process established by the “Codice dei Beni Culturali e del Paesaggio” has been overcome as it is acknowledged that all levels of planning contribute and are responsible for the implementation of the landscaping plan, thereby the cohesion, the typical model of regional governance is respected.
