La costa di Siracusa tra cosmografia ed erudizione

<p>This paper aims to collect and analyse the main historical and naturalistic “notices” about the coastline of Syracuse, contained in technical reports of the military engineers, who worked on the coastal defence system against corsair incursions (16th century), and in the erudite tradition. When possible, the information will be integrated with cartographic data or artistic representations. The evaluation of the acquired elements will offer an original reconstruction of the coastal landscape and relationship between human activities and territory from ancient to modern times. </p>
