1.1 Map of terracements of the Valley of River Brenta Work steps: ■ Acquisition of terracements identified by the Veneto Master Topomap (C.T.R.N.), scale 1:5000 ■ Comparison with aerial orto- photographs (scale 1:5000) to improve the information ■ Survey of terracements not reported on the Master Topomap, through: - specific aerial photos - survey on the ground - laser-scanner use - other sources ■ GIS analysis, with relationship between terracements, morphology and infrastructure: - length and density - slope and solar exposition - geologic substratum - accessibility ■ Map of terracements of the Valley of River Brenta Project ALPTER - ‘Terraced landscapes of the alpine arc’ EU Programme Interreg IIIB Alpine Space

Project ALPTER - ‘Terraced landscapes of the alpine arc’ EU Programme Interreg IIIB Alpine Space 1.2 Analysis of terraced areas in the Valley of River Brenta Work steps: ■ Identification of homogenous terraced sub- areas in the Valley of River Brenta ■ Selection of terraced sub-areas for detailed analysis, based on morphological, typological and historical characters ■ Documentation of the terraced sub-areas: - photographs - aerial photographs - technical plans - historical maps - geologic data - other data ■ Draft of Data-sheets for terraced sub-areas ■ Other analysis: - Historical study - Perceptive analysis ■ Evaluation of natural risk and of opportunity of recovery for terraced sub-areas

Project ALPTER - ‘Terraced landscapes of the alpine arc’ EU Programme Interreg IIIB Alpine Space 2.1 Pilot project of recovery of a terraced area Preliminary steps: ■ Identification and contact of the estate ownership ■ Complete territorial analysis (pedologic, geologic, historic…) ■ Availability of transports (roads or other) and networks Recovery works: ■ Draft of a complete recovery project ■ Availability of funding sources (public and private) ■ Experimentation of recovery technologies (local techniques) Recovery management: ■ Choice and start of agricultural cultivations ■ Diffused ospitality

Project ALPTER - ‘Terraced landscapes of the alpine arc’ EU Programme Interreg IIIB Alpine Space 2.2 Pilot project of recovery - Technical plans Draft of recovery plans : ■ Complete architectural survey of agricultural terracements and of other structures (buildings, shelters) ■ Choice of use and technologies ■ Draft of technical plans

Next steps: - Completions of the map of terracements - Start of detailed analysis of terraced sub-areas - Start of map of terracements in Veneto Region - Completion of the contacts with estate owners and start of draft of project of recovery Project ALPTER - ‘Terraced landscapes of the alpine arc’ EU Programme Interreg IIIB Alpine Space
