| Summary: | The decline and the fragmentation of the areas
devoted to viticulture in the Mendrisio district (Ticino) since the end of last Century, as revealed by topographic maps, is a sign of the profound transformation of both landscape and society. It is not only
the surface which has changed but also the human
activities:<br><br>
- mixed culture has been replaced by specialized
cultivation (monoculture)<br>
- the variety of vine grown has decreased considerably<br>
- the vintner has become independent, working his
vineyard parttime only.<br><br>
These transformations reflect the mutual relationship between space and society, inside and towards
the outside. Thus three different explanations can
be offered:<br><br>
- the "inherited space" from the end of the last
Century<br>
- the "polysemic space", i. e. the space at the intersection
of relations between the Mendrisiotto and
other regions, in particular Ticino and Lombardy,
Switzerland and Italy<br>
- the existing relations between space and society
as far as considered.<br> |
