Abstract

In Piemonte (north-western Italy), an intense extraction activity of ornamental stones widely used for historical buildings, developed throughout centuries. This is due to the wide geodiversity of the region, characterised by mostly metamorphic and magmatic rocks in the Western Alps and by terrigenous and carbonate sedimentary rocks in the Alps-Apennines syn-orogenic basins. The work presents the description and classification of the main Piemonte ornamental stones, referring to a simplified lithological Map Legend. To enhance the remarkable historical and contemporary stone heritage of the region a database (DB) was developed addressing a proper cataloguing of the ornamental stones and related quarries. The classified instances have been referred to the geologic units of a regional-scale, interactive geological map, in which each ornamental stone was attributed to few geo-lithological classes. The map was developed as a WebGIS service hosted on a geoportal (https://webgis.arpa.piemonte.it/agportal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6ea1e38603d6469298333c2efbc76c72) that allows interactive querying and download of the DB information, regarding the main rock types and the corresponding quarries, as well as their historical-architectural uses, to underline their value as witness of cultural heritage. The WebGIS service is progressively fed by new data, in order to become a relevant source of information for those working in the field of cultural heritage and geo-environmental sciences.

通过 WebGIS 服务托管的皮埃蒙特（意大利西北部）观赏石数据库

在皮埃蒙特大区（意大利西北部），广泛用于历史建筑的观赏石的开采活动持续了几个世纪。这得益于该地区广泛的地质多样性，其特点是西阿尔卑斯山主要是变质岩和岩浆岩，阿尔卑斯山-亚平宁山脉同源盆地主要是陆相沉积岩和碳酸盐沉积岩。该著作参照简化的岩性地图图例，介绍了皮埃蒙特主要观赏石的描述和分类。为了加强该地区非凡的历史和现代石材遗产，开发了一个数据库（DB），对观赏石和相关采石场进行了适当的编目。这些分类实例被归入区域级互动地质图的地质单元，其中每块观赏石都被归入几个地质岩性类别。该地图是作为 WebGIS 服务开发的，托管在一个地理门户网站（https://webgis.arpa.piemonte.it/agportal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6ea1e38603d6469298333c2efbc76c72）上，允许交互式查询和下载数据库信息，涉及主要岩石类型和相应的采石场，以及它们的历史建筑用途，以强调它们作为文化遗产见证的价值。网络地理信息系统服务将逐步增加新的数据，以成为文化遗产和地质环境科学领域工作人员的相关信息来源。

期刊介绍： The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism. The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are: - Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage; - Geodiversity and geosites; - On-site science, geological and geomorphological research: - Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation and management; - Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby; - Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international; - Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use policies; - Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies; - Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism; - Geoparks: creation, management and outputs; - Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change; - Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies; - International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites, National Parks etc.; - Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections and all portable geoheritage; - Education and training of geoheritage specialists; - Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres, on-site museums; - Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
