For a long time, mills have been key tools for human sustenance, serving as the focal point of communities and a fundamental geographical reference. In collaboration with a broader project coordinated by the University of Padua, this study aims to survey, catalog, and analyze the mills distributed throughout the central-western province of Vicenza area from a geo-historical perspective.

This study should not be viewed as a finished product in itself, but rather considered within a practical application framework for the enhancement and restoration of ancient structures, with significant implications for local tourism and more efficient land management.
I mulini per lungo tempo sono stati strumenti cardine per l’alimentazione dell’uomo, oltre che fulcro delle comunità e fondamentale riferimento geografico. In collaborazione con un progetto da più ampi orizzonti coordinato dall’Università degli Studi di Padova, questo studio si propone di rilevare, censire, catalogare ed analizzare i mulini distribuiti nel territorio del Vicentino centro-occidentale con un’ottica geostorica. L’obiettivo è la realizzazione di un censimento che copra, con l’apporto di numerosi altri elaborati, l’intera superficie della regione Veneto, in modo da disporre di un database che cataloghi: posizione geografica dei mulini, datazione, relativo corpo idrico o altra tipologia di alimentazione, tipologia di impianto e ulteriori caratteristiche. Base della ricerca sono le tavolette IGM 25V, integrate da ulteriore materiale bibliografico e cartografico, analizzate tramite tecnologia GIS. Con l’applicazione dell’approccio geostorico agli Historical GIS è infatti possibile coniugare ricerca geografica e storica attraverso l’uso di risorse interdisciplinari, realizzando dunque uno studio a tutto tondo. A partire da una cornice che inquadri geograficamente e storicamente l’area interessata, e fornendo un quadro metodologico che osservi anche opere analoghe di riferimento, verrà analizzata la connessione geostorica dei mulini col territorio: da come le caratteristiche geomorfologiche del territorio influenzano la localizzazione degli impianti all’azione dell’uomo per domare la natura alle sue necessità, dal rilevamento sul campo di strutture antiche all’osservazione dell’evoluzione storica delle stesse e delle sfide che il territorio comporta in epoca contemporanea. Questo studio non è infatti da intendersi come di per sé finito, ma va considerato in un’ottica di pratica applicazione nella realizzazione di opere di valorizzazione e recupero di antiche strutture, con importanti risvolti nel turismo locale e in una più efficiente gestione territoriale.

Abstract
For a long time, mills have been key tools for human sustenance, serving as the focal point of communities and a fundamental geographical reference. In collaboration with a broader project coordinated by the University of Padua, this study aims to survey, catalog, and analyze the mills distributed throughout the central-western province of Vicenza area from a geo-historical perspective. The goal is to create a census that encompasses, along with numerous other documents, the entire surface of the Veneto region, thereby establishing a database that catalogs the geographical location of the mills, dating, associated water bodies or other types of power sources, type of system, and additional characteristics. The foundation of the research consists of the IGM 25V maps (tavolette), supplemented by further bibliographic and cartographic materials, analyzed using GIS technology. By applying the geo-historical approach to Historical GIS, it is indeed possible to combine geographic and historical research through the use of interdisciplinary resources, thus creating a comprehensive study. Starting from a framework that geographically and historically contextualizes the area of interest and providing a methodological overview that also considers analogous reference works, the geo-historical connection of the mills to the territory will be analyzed: from how the geomorphological characteristics of the land influence the location of the mills to human efforts to tame nature for its needs, from field surveys of ancient structures to observing their historical evolution and the challenges the territory faces in contemporary times. This study should not be viewed as a finished product in itself, but rather considered within a practical application framework for the enhancement and restoration of ancient structures, with significant implications for local tourism and more efficient land management.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
