Signs and Structures of Oltrepò Pavese: Summary for the Graphic Representation of the Traditional Cityscape

The present paper illustrates part of the project of methodological analysis, which focuses on the comprehension, and representation of the landscape of the Oltrepò region, in order to preserve and maintain its historic cultural significance. The census of the territory and its elements has allowed obtaining a complex and articulated fact-finding framework of the hinterland of Pavia, which is almost totally absent today. The test area on which to experiment with systems of interpretation and analysis of the site was chosen in an attempt to trigger a network that, starting from the case study of Barbianello, was able to extend to the neighboring municipalities the methodology documentation and the promotion of cultural traditions in that territory. The research activity has started a collaboration that, in 2013, saw the participation of the City of Barbianello and the Dicar of the University of Pavia in actions for the protection and preservation of a highly identified landscape system
