 Geomorphological features of the Rio della Rocca valley (northern Apennines, Italy)Viola Maria Bruschi, Paola Coratza, Daniela Piacentini and Mauro Soldati Journal of Maps, 2012, vol. 8, issue 4, 445-452 Abstract: This paper presents a geomorphological map of the Rio della Rocca valley, a small catchment located in the lower Apennines of the Province of Reggio Emilia (northern Italy). The geomorphological map has been produced at a scale 1:7500 as a base document within multidisciplinary investigations aimed at the rehabilitation of the area, which is characterised by peculiar geological and geomorphological features and a high scenic value, despite clear evidence of human impact. Since the mid 1950s the valley has been affected by quarrying activities which in some places have deeply changed its environmental and, in particular, geomorphological features. As a part of the research, geomorphological survey and mapping were carried out in order to detect the main slope instability and erosional processes and landforms and, at the same time, to recognise sites of geological and geomorphological interest. Proposals for territorial development have been proposed which take into account geotourism and recreational issues.
