Figura 1 – “Rosetta stone” for possible landuse/land-cover
classifications. The final reclassification
schemes (6 possibilities for the
Corine Land Cover maps and 4 possibilities
for the map of land use) are provided together
with the original legends.
Figura 2 – Land-use/land-cover change for
1960-1990 and for 1990-2000 with macroregions

was detected are represented following

ticular with AGRICULTURE (37.89%) and HETEROGENEOUS (10.44%). ARTIFICIAL covered
a small percentage of the national territory (1.34%), while FOREST and PASTURE occupied respectively
18.70% and 18.72% (Fig. 3).
In 1990, agriculture was still the dominant feature in Italy (51.86%), AGRICULTURE (28.44%) and
HETEROGENEOUS (16.09%) being the two most important components. We found a marked
increase for the ARTIFICIAL (from 1.34% in the 1960s to 3.98% in the 1990s) and FOREST (from
18.70% to 30.58%), and a marked decrease for PASTURE (from 18.72% to 10.09%) (Fig. 3).
In 2000, agriculture was still the dominant land-use class (50.46%), and AGRICULTURE and HE-
TEROGENEOUS were the prominent components (respectively 29.31% and 13.65% of Italy).
ARTIFICIAL increased from 3.98% in the 1990s to 4.55% in 2000, FOREST increased from
30.58% to 32.54%, and PASTURE decreased from 10.09% to 9.23% (Fig. 3).
The geographical distribution of the different land-use/land-cover classes was about the same
in the three maps. AGRICULTURE was found mainly on plains, coasts and islands, as well as AR-
