production of sustainable results in the long run. On the contrary, if the local administration would choose to impose top-down and serial projects that do not answer to the needs of the place, the risk would be of depriving the site of its own identity, and therefore to cancel the main reason for its existence. This would mean to endorse Salavatore Stettis (2010, Paesaggio Costituzione cemento: la battaglia per l’ambiente contro il degrado civile, Einaudi, Torino) idea about the risk that our heritage and landscape are incurring, i.e. to become less and less the treasure and breath of all citizens, but rather too easy hunting of those who, cynically trampling it, devastate the common good for their own profit.
