  • 12 March, 2008. Modica, Sicily, Italy. A room of the Historial Baroque Palazzo Marconi that was renewed in the late 1950's from its original Baroque style. Palazzo Marconi is in the centro storico (historical center) of Modica. The building was built in 1878 and some of its baroque rooms (as well as the entrance staircase) were destroyed to create an apartment in the 1950's. It consists of two floors of 350 square meters each and of partially covered terrace of 350 square meters with a 360 degrees panoramic view. The furnished property is on sale for 500,000 euros. Palazzo Marconi is situated in via Marconi 5, near Piazza San Giovanni in the baroque town of Modica, in Southern Sicily. Modica is part of the UNIESCO Heritage Sites in Italy, and despite the earthquakes in 1613 and 1693, the city has maintained some of the most beautiful architectures in Sicily, in the Sicilian Baroque style. <br />

  • VERNAZZA, ITALY - 1 JUNE 2017: A view of the 2012 flood that hit the Cinque Terra - when tons of mud invaded the<br />
villages' main road, shops and and homes, isolating the area and<br />
taking three lives -is seen here in Vernazza, Italy, on June 1st 2017.<br />
<br />
Given its jagged coastline and manifold mountainous chains, Italy is believed to hold a record in Europe with an estimated 300,000 hectares of terracing, and 170,000 kilometers of dry stone walls— 20 times the length of the Great Wall of China.<br />
Liguria, the narrow half-moon shaped region along the northern<br />
Thyrrenian sea, has the highest concentration, and terracing is in<br />
poor shape there. In Vernazza, almost half of the terracing is in<br />
ruins.<br />
<br />
Terraced vineyards, apple and lemon groves horizontally run around the green slopes of the Cinque Terre. The stone walls have allowed such vital cultivation in the area and prevented land slides. Since the 1960s, the ancient walls have been largely<br />
abandoned, posing hydro-geological threats to the same villages during<br />
heavy rains and, in general, as time passes.<br />
<br />
Since the 2012 flood - when tons of mud invaded the<br />
village’s main road, shops and and homes, isolating the area and<br />

over 6,000 square meters of land parcels that needed to be cleaned up,<br />
in order to fix them and thus prevent land slides, but also to show to<br />
the younger generations that agriculture is still possible in the<br />

<br />
Given its jagged coastline and manifold mountainous chains, Italy is believed to hold a record in Europe with an estimated 300,000 hectares of terracing, and 170,000 kilometers of dry stone walls— 20 times the length of the Great Wall of China.<br />
Liguria, the narrow half-moon shaped region along the northern<br />
Thyrrenian sea, has the highest concentration, and terracing is in<br />
poor shape there. In Vernazza, almost half of the terracing is in<br />
ruins.<br />
<br />
Terraced vineyards, apple and lemon groves horizontally run around the green slopes of the Cinque Terre. The stone walls have allowed such vital cultivation in the area and prevented land slides. Since the 1960s, the ancient walls have been largely<br />
abandoned, posing hydro-geological threats to the same villages during<br />
heavy rains and, in general, as time passes.<br />
<br />
Since the 2012 flood - when tons of mud invaded the<br />
village’s main road, shops and and homes, isolating the area and<br />
taking three lives - Margherita Ermirio has agreed with the various land lords to take<br />
over 6,000 square meters of land parcels that needed to be cleaned up,<br />
in order to fix them and thus prevent land slides, but also to show to<br />
the younger generations that agriculture is still possible in the<br />
Cinque Terre.

slope during a field trip with Margherita Ermirio, part of a UNESCO Youth program to enhance the relationship between the young and their territory, here in Vernazza, Italy, on June 1st 2017. This class has been studying terracing in the Cinque Terre from an historical point of view, comparing the 18th century maps with Google earth’s most recent pictures. From the measures taken during the field trip, students will make a 3D design of the area.<br />

  • VERNAZZA, ITALY - 1 JUNE 2017: Margherita Ermirio, 32, a local who has spent years abroad and is now the pillar of the battle to restore dry stone walls and preserve the terracing, walks through a vineyard in a terracing here in Vernazza, Italy, on June 1st 2017.<br />
<br />
She wants to show younger generations the backbone of the Cinque Terre landscape, and teach them why it’s crucial to maintain their dry stone walls, dovetailed to hold the soil behind and above.<br />
