Overview

The conference series 'Landscape: una sintesi di elementi diacronici' was born in 2019 within the PhD programme in Ancient Sciences and Archaeology, involving three universities: University of Pisa, University of Florence, and University of Siena. The third edition, entitled Uomo e ambiente nel mondo antico: un equilibrio possible? was held in collaboration with the University of Bologna from 5 to 6 May 2022. This book collects the proceedings of these two days, during which the participants were invited to address a highly topical issue that increasingly permeates the present and future of humanity. The proposed research approached the topic by attempting to historicise it, by projecting the challenges of the present into the societies of the past, and by attempting to respond to the provocative invitation inherent in the title of the conference: has there ever been a balance between man and nature? The main objective was to determine the level of ecological awareness inherent in ancient societies and to identify the possible solutions implemented, trying to answer two questions in particular: what were the choices (political, economic, social) implemented during climatic variations, and how were they perceived by ancient societies? Were these choices linked to 'environmentalist' awareness, or did a purely utilitarian purpose prevail?

Gangale Risoleo is an archaeologist and currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Calabria. His research interests follow in the tradition of ancient topographical studies, with a particular focus on the analysis of the relationship between urbanism and water. E. Iacopini holds a PhD in Ancient History from the University of Pisa and is currently a research fellow at La Sapienza University of Rome. Her research focuses on ancient topography, in particular the reconstruction of rural and urban landscapes with a diachronic and multidisciplinary approach. F. Pizzimenti holds PhD in Historical and Archaeological Sciences from the University of Bologna, currently working for the ABAP AP-FM-MC Superintendency. He conducts research in the field of classical archaeology with a focus on ancient topography and agrarian history in the Adriatic-Ionian area. I.
