Plateaus of Colfiorito
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Plateaus of Colfiorito or Altopiani Plestini are a system of seven plateaus to carsi, with altitudes comprised between the 750 and the 800 to us m s.l.m., situate to you on the watershed of the Appennino Umbro-Marchigiano, to horse of the border between Common of Foligno and the that one of Serravalle di Chienti. The modern plateaus derive from the draining, natural for effect of the carsismo or for reclamation of the man, of seven conche lacustrine, of which he remains only puts into effect it them swamp. The seven plateaus take the name of:
• Slowly of Hill Cross
• Slowly of Annifo
• Slowly of Colfiorito or the Casone
• Slowly of Arvello
• Swamp of Colfiorito
• Slowly of Ricciano
• Slowly of Popola and Cesi
the plateaus of Colfiorito are delimit to you to the west and to east from the two limestone ridges that culminate in numerous summits beyond i 1000 m s.l.m., most important di.le which are found to north, Mount Pen-nib (1571 m), Acute Mount (1300 m) and Mount Prefoglio (1322 m) and to east, Mount Tolanga (1405 m). The plans are separate to you from sweeter heights and communicate between they for means of numerous go them. The entire imbrifero river basin, of beyond 9.150 hectares, does not introduce surface emissaries and the water-drainage of waters happens through inghiottitoi natural of carsica origin in the Plans of Annifo, Arvello, Ricciano and in the Swamp of Colfiorito. The Plans of the Casone and Popola are river basins naturally sluices that came cleared from the family of Varano to the end of the 1400's, through the construction of a net of channels craft them that immettevano in a underground collector of approximately 500 m of length, Botte saying of Varano. In the course of the reconstruction continuation to the sisma of 1997, the Botte of Varano has been dismessa and replaced from a new underground collector to it parallel. The escape to goes them of the underground collector, near Serravalle di Chienti, is conventionally considered the source of the Chienti river. For what it regards the water contribution, the Plateaus of Colfiorito are caratterizati from the absence of immissari, since from the surrounding reliefs only small pits come down age them and the numerous sources situated to the edges of the plans have modest capacity (the single Formaccia Source, on the Plan of the Casone, originate a small River). The large one of the water contributions is constituted from that meteoric (rain and snow), that they determine one strongly course ages them of the water system, a lot that the lower regions of the Plans, above all on the Plan of Ricciano, often turn out flooded of winter in order then to return prosciugar completely of summer. The water is constantly present only in the conca of the swamp of Colfiorito on an extended round area for approximately 100 h. protected Già internationally from the 1976 from the convention of Ramsar, for the presence of one torbiera, the wealth of species vegetables and for the avifauna, around to it has been instituted in 1995 the regional Park of Colfiorito. The swamp, the Plans of Annifo and Arvello, the Plan of Ricciano and the Forest of Cupigliolo are classify to you Situated of Communitarian Importance (SIC). The plateau system represented end from the preistoria a nodal point of the communication between mar Tyrrhenian and the Adriatic sea. The more ancient human testimonies are represented from remains of in stone and from axes to margins it rises to you, recovered to the feet of the Trella Mount, and given you to the end of III the millenium a.C. (age of the ancient bronze). The area then was occupied from stable takeovers to leave from the beginning of the age of the iron. At the beginning of YOU century a.C. finds a meaningful demographic increase, accompanied from the affirmation in the zone of the Plestini, a population umbra that it succeeds in to occupy a territory of 120-130 km². In IV the century a.C., as a result of the expansionistic pushes of Rome towards north, the entire area comes slowly came roman and begins a urbanization process that door to the birth of the city of Plestia, that it will succeed in to become roman town hall. The roman historian I level indicates pressed of the Lacus Plestinus (the present swamp on the Plan of the Casone before the reclamation) as place of a battle of II the happened punica war in the 217 a.C., only three days after the hard defeat of the Roman to work of Hannibal in the battle of the Trasimeno Lago. Cartaginese general Maarbale, to the commando of astatines and of part of the cavalry of the cartaginese army, destroyed 4,000 knights guides to you from the proconsole Centenio, envoy to garrison the valico mounts. During the construction of the modern underground collector an ulterior collector of roman age is returned to the light, of which he had gone lost the memory. To the contrary of the jobs of reclamation succeeded to you, the roman work was not understanding dry the Lacus Plestinus, but it probably served to stabilize of the level regarding the strong variations ages them and to safeguard the city of Plestia from the winter floodings.

Giorgio

Ciao Silvio,
vedo che anche tu non riesci a resistere ai cieli azzurri e ai prati verdi. Lo scatto mi sembra solo leggermente sottoesposto. Sarei curioso di vedere una composizione orizzontale. Inutile dire che per questo tipo di soggetti la lente non e' mai "larga abbastanza" ed il formato 800x533 non aiuta: peccato! Buona settimana, Dario.

Ciao Silvio,
paesaggio meravigliosamente semplice e complesso. Luce e colori sono molto buoni e d'impatto. La nota è veramente esaustiva.
Complimenti e saluti.
Stella

Ciao Silvio,
eccomi di nuovo qua dopo una vera odissea!!! Per scendere dal nord del Camerun mi ci sono voluti 4 giorni da romanzo!!!
Mi fa molto piacere godere di questo bel prato fiorito e di questo bel cielo azzurro dopo aver passato 10 giorni in una savana incandescente a 45°!
Alberto

Beautiful spring scene, with blue sky, fluffy clouds and green and yellow fields. Excellent vertical framing.

TFS,

Andreea

Hi Silvio!
A well composed landscape shot with this huge quantity of foreground.The thousand dots,yellow blossoms look great and contrast very well with the lawn.The view at the distance is great ,too with the V ,built by the montans.The sky with these clouds makes your composition perfect.A great shot with a nice spring atmosphere.
Regards,Leo

A beautiful image Silvio, nice and simple.
A slight crop along the bottom to remove the small patch of dead grass in the bottom left hand corner would improve it even more.

Cheers,
Ben

Very good choice of the vertical format for this delightful landscape with so beautiful colours in the spring fields and in the sky. Very well done.

Ciao Silvio
stupedni questi colori intensi e molto bello è il contrasto tra il verde del prato e l'azzurro del cielo...ottimo!!!!

Hi Silvio,
Well chosen POV, love the way the green field gives way to the mountains and then to the strikingly blue sky.
