"The nightmare of an Italy split, and what we still want to imagine what is becoming reality, assails you page after page, reading the latest book by Salvatore Settis. It is titled "Landscape Constitution Cement" and freezes the blood to anyone who loves our country. "

"The book makes it clear which profile now Settis alongside that of the scholar and teacher: to be become the most reliable references to the vast array that Italy faces assault and nonsense to the detriment of the landscape. This essay collection of reflections cultural and civil digit economic scenarios, stories and a rich documentation of sources of legislation and administrative provisions that allow those who are fighting to prevent an injustice to have one more tool. "
Erbano Francis, the Republic

This blind, suicidal destruction of the space in which we live, "the gradual transformation of the plains and the Italian coast in one huge suburb," is not so with impunity if there was between the people "a clear perception of resource value and irreversibility of its consumption."
Salvatore Settis, Landscape Constitution Cement


"It is now more necessary than ever to speak of the landscape. "
Salvatore Settis faces the gulf between the principles of defense and protection of the territory recognized by the Constitution from the reality of decay of the space we inhabit. "The damage we are talking not only about the shape of the landscape and environment, and not just pollution, poisons and the suffering it produces, and afflict us," is a form of overall decline of the rules of common life, made possible by indifference, contradictory laws - circumvented with ease -, widespread immorality and monetization of each value.
