Description
"Rural fences," as historian Lorenzo Baratter states in the preface, "represent a significant component in the collective memory of the Trentino people, in the perception of their territory. Working, therefore, to restore the landscape and safeguard the environmental balance also means taking into consideration these so-called minor aspects. And this is also the aim of this book, which is not just a simple overview - albeit fascinating in its photos, explanatory drawings and historical references - of the various wooden fences (trellis, rack, nailed, etc.) and stone fences (porphyry slabs, limestone slabs, tonalite stones, etc.): a book, therefore, that is above all a stimulus to re-propose these elements of rural architecture for all those who work to enhance the territory of the province of Trento.
