The territorial organization of the Amalfi Coast: nature and man's intervention

The Amalfi Coast, renowned for its dramatic landscapes of jagged mountain ridges and steep cliffs, showcases unique examples of human adaptation to challenging environmental conditions. This study reveals how the coastal and inland towns, rich in medieval historical and artistic heritage, have expanded while maintaining harmony with the natural terrain. By analyzing both natural and anthropogenic components, the research provides insights into the territorial organization that has shaped this UNESCO World Heritage Site over centuries. The approach combines geographical analysis with historical context to understand the interplay between nature and human intervention, offering a comprehensive view of the region's evolution.
