Protection and Enhancement of Soil in Territorial Governance Processes

On 25 May 2026, a study day dedicated to the research themes developed by Prof. Bernardino Romano will take place at the Aula Magna of the San Basilio Congress Center in L’Aquila. Through this event, the University of L'Aquila and the DICEAA Department intend to commemorate his scientific legacy, now carried forward and further developed by the PLANECO Research Center, as well as by all those who shared with him ideas, projects, and conceptual and operational challenges that territorial planning is called upon to address. The initiative aims to recall and enhance a body of studies and practices that continues to provide interpretative and methodological tools for those working today along the same lines of research and action. The day will conclude with the award ceremony of the first edition of the BiRO Prize, established in memory of Prof. Romano.

Experts from ISPRA will take part in the event.
