Download or read book The Valtellina and UNESCO written by Thomas J. Puleo and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global in scope and transdisciplinary in method, this work examines the process through which local historic landscapes become global heritage sites. The Valtellina, a valley in the Italian Alps, is known for being unusually fertile for its elevation and latitude, and for the dry stone terraces on its steep hillsides that make this fertility possible. ProVinea, a local nonprofit, has applied to UNESCO to inscribe these landscapes onto its World Heritage list, representing the construction and use of the terraces as the heroic transformation of barren slopes into fertile fields. Drawing on Michel Serres' theory of serial parasitism, this study demonstrates how ProVinea discursively and materially remakes the landscapes by culling the advantageous, eliminating the detrimental, and assembling the dispersed. A casualty of this process is a more complex and complete truth, one that this book aims to restore, while also acknowledging the validity of World Heritage's efforts to build a global culture and ProVinea's desire to connect to it.

Book excerpt: This book is aimed at promoting the Region of Lombardy and raising awareness of the triumph of flavours, emotions, traditions and quality preserved in the fruits of its lands. With 1.3m hectares of agricultural territory, our region has the largest area dedicated to this sector in Italy. This primary position results not only from thousands of years of evolution, but also and above all from a laboratory fomenting future-oriented ideas, innovations and technology, which guarantee the production of healthy, genuine foodstuffs that are certified and protected. Leafing through the recipes is like going on a journey, just as the title suggests – by following Lombardy’s 12 Wine and Food Roads, the reader is led to rediscover the region's typical dishes which, handed down through the generations with great love and enthusiasm, contribute to the enhancement of a unique heritage consisting of 248 excellent agricultural products and foodstuffs, of which 31 have PDO or PGI status (13% of the branded products of Italian origin), and 42 wines with DOCG, DOC or IGT denominations. Each route includes an introduction to the area in question and 5 recipes with wine pairings, which enables the planning of a complete menu.
