Presentation of the book: "Italy loses land. Land consumption and territory degradation"

On 4th December at 3.00 pm ISPRA presents the Volume "Italy loses Italy loses land. Land consumption and territory degradation" which shows the consequences of decades of land exploitation to the detriment of agricultural and natural areas.
Every year, in recent decades, ten thousand hectares of agricultural land are lost due to the pervasive invasion of cements, with the consequence of the devastation of millenary balances, the suppression of biodiversity, natural hydrological disasters and the increase of environmental pollution.
ISPRA, on the occasion of the presentation of the 2019 land consumption annual report, has invited Angelo Antolino to show the consequences of this myopia, trough with his exemplary project "Italian souvenir": a comparison between satellite images and photographs, an emblematic sampling of 'before' and 'after' in terms of artificial coverings on the national territory which plastically translates the urgency to change course. The volume aims to enclose the memory of the exhibition, offering a complete overview of images.
