Landscape and Image: perception of authenticity and identity of places

The contribution is based on the analysis of the particular site of Crapolla. It drives us to recognize a special complexity of the issue and we have to underline several aspects that are inherent to the interventions but, above all, to the interpretative dimension. This means that it is essential that the debate about the landscape and its conservation, protection and enhancement must be based on a rigorous theoretical approach. We cannot forget that the quality of interventions depends on the depth of the notions’ considerations, because of foundations and groundings coincide. There are some considerations about some associations between landscape and elements that connote the entity of the cultural landscape. However, we have to consider the landscape as an inclusive dimension. About that, the state of art, the significance and definition of landscape concept, relationships among values, image and authenticity of places are been faced.
