The European Convention on the landscape, signed in Florence on the 20th of October 2000 and recently converted into law marks a moment of profound change in the conception of the landscape in European politics.

Therefore the right of people to identify with their own landscape, recognizing to the landscapes a dual economic and social role, is accentuated.
