830 IT - Costiera Amalfitana (1997)

Brief Description

"The Amalfi coast is an area of great physical beauty and natural diversity. It has been intensively settled by human communities since the early Middle Ages. There are a number of towns such as Amalfi and Ravello with architectural and artistic works of great significance. The rural areas show the versatility of the inhabitants in adapting their use of the land to the diverse nature of the terrain, which ranges from terraced vineyards and orchards on the lower slopes to wide upland pastures."

阿马尔菲海岸景观
"阿马尔菲海岸环境优美、自然景观丰富多彩。从中世纪早期始,人类社会就在此地定居生活。此地有一大批像阿马尔菲和拉韦洛这 样的小城市,它们都拥有不少重要的建筑和艺术作品。这里的农村地区也由于此地地理环境的多样性而被充分加以利用,偏下的坡地由阶梯式的葡萄园和果园构成, 靠上面的坡地则是牧场。"
