Gli scritti e i disegni di Thomas Cole sono per gran parte inediti e su di essi lavorano da anni le autrici di questo saggio. L'analisi della produzione di Thomas Cole consente di individuare nell'odierna situazione territoriale i relitti di quelle splendide presenze che testimoniano – nel caso del Lazio – l'assenza di una lungimirante politica ambientale e di tutela storico-architettonica. 2005-09-28T18:05:12Z http://hdl.handle.net/2067/2335 Title: In the Right Place at the Right Time: George Perkins Marsh in Italy, 1861 – 1882 Authors: Vallino, Fabienne Charlotte Oräzie Abstract: This is an essay divided into two parts. PART ONE is intended for European readers, chiefly Italian and is the completion of PART TWO, the essay intended for American readers and prepared, in April 2012, for the Conference at Stevens Institute of Technology (Castle Point on Hudson, USA) titled 'George Perkins Marsh: An American for All Seasons'. Deposited in the SIAE Copyright Office (Italian Society of Authors, Editors and Publishers: Dep. number 2012004334 - 2012); Copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington (2012) From Vermont to Italy. On the day of 23rd July 2012 is the hundred and thirtieth anniversary of the death of George Perkins Marsh (Woodstock March 15, 1801 – Vallombrosa July 23, 1882). In this Essay the attention will be concentrated particularly on George P. Marsh and Italy, where his masterpiece ‘Man and Nature’ was written and then also translated in Italian from the first American edition. George P. Marsh, of Vermont, well-known in the world today as one of the pioneers, better yet, for many scholars the founder of Conservationist conception of environmentalism, and thus an essential catalyst for the Conservation movement, is not always sufficiently renowned for being a great personage in the History of Geographical Thought, and an excellent scholar in a long line of disciplines, most notably linguistic and philological, as well as for being a statesman and an adroit and influential diplomat. The last remark in particular might seem groundless as it particularly concerns Italy where he in fact lived from June 1861, until his death in 1882, in the role of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States in the Kingdom of Italy. It is true that in 2011 he was sometimes remembered on the occasion of the Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary the Italian Unification, but it fact the memory of him has considerably diminished in Italy in the course of the 20th Century. On the contrary, during is Office in Italy and at the time of his decease he was of great political and cultural importance and had a following in the newborn unified Italian State. Although American and Anglo-Saxon Geography of the second half of the 20th Century started to renew its own interest in the teachings of George Perkins Marsh and to delve into his cultural legacy, in Italy he remained in the shadows and was hardly noticed in Europe. 2013-01-15T23:00:00Z
