The History, Flora, Cartography and Architecture
of the Natisone Valleys

History_ A reflection on the concept of the border as both a political constraint and a mental line of defence, with images and graphics to support the text. An interactive geographical map links to videos of First World War emplacements and trenches.


Flora_ A two-part section, one a spoken commentary with a series of images, the other containing text and videos describing the region’s plants and natural features.


Architecture_ A section that tackles the theme of the settlement structure of the villages with numerous examples of local architectural features, supported by videos and spoken commentary.


Cartography_ The various stretches of the path running along the ridge of Monte Colovrat to Castelmonte can be selected from an on-line map.

The border is not merely a political constraint, it is also a mental line...

that interrupts environmental continuity,,
that creates conflict between peoples...

this line was witness to the First World War
one of the bloodiest ever known.
