The Italian landscape has seen numerous changes in the last twenty years connected with different ‘driving forces’ of a prevalently socio-economic nature, which are reflected in the general ‘banalisation’ of the landscape and a continuous expansion of urbanised areas. An analysis of data from the ‘Inventory of Land Use in Italy’ provides a precise picture of the dynamics of landscape change which allows us to assess the real capacity of national parks to safeguard the environment. It was found from a comparative analysis that although the figure for the urbanised surface area of parks (1%) is currently much lower than the national average (7.3%), it’s rate of increase over the last 20 years compared to the 1990 figure is quite similar (20% in parks and 24% in the country as a whole).
