Die Sümpfe der Päpste. Eine Umweltgeschichte der Pontinischen Ebene in der Frühen Neuzeit

该项目正在处理教皇国内的Pontine沼泽（paludi pontine）的个案研究。分析了这一特殊景观的演变过程，即积水和石化。整个近代早期的人与环境的关系将在不同的方面进行审查：环境的感知，冲突的使用（在自然条件和水文变化的背景下），政治和财政问题，涉及到实现一个基础设施的大型项目和经济资源冲突。此外，农业蓬蒂诺的作用将分析其语言和地图接收。通过对桥亭沼泽地与其他著名沼泽地及其开垦地的比较，我们最终将了解到16世纪末至18世纪世纪景观变化和环境感知变化的具体情况。

The project is dealing with the case study of the Pontine Marshes (paludi pontine) within the Papal States. It is based on an analysis of the transforming process of this special landscape referring to ponding and bonification. The human-environmental relationship throughout early modern times will be examined under different aspects: Perception of the environment, conflicting use (in the context of the natural conditions and hydrological transformations), political and financial issues referring to the realization of an infrastructural large-scale project and economical resource conflicts. Besides, the role of the Agro pontino will be analyzed with regard to its linguistic and cartographic reception. A comparison between the Pontine Marshes with other well-known swamps and their reclamation will finally give information about the specifics of the transforming landscapes and the changing environmental perception from the late 16th to the 18th century.
