Population
149.084

inhabitants
Geographical localization
The municipal area of Ravenna is located in
the Emilia-Romagna, region of Northern Italy,
and spreads over a large area (it is the
second largest municipal area after Rome).
2
Natural Areas
Ravenna is made up of some of the
most beautiful natural areas of the
Po Delta Park characterized from the
presence of an extraordinary variety
of landscapes and natural habitats
which derive from the interaction
between the natural evolutionary
processes of the territory and the
anthropic activities.
Extension of the protected areas:
about 19.000 hectares.
There are numerous animals and plants species,
many of which are protected by international
and national regulations, but the biggest wealth
comes from the avifauna.
There are 234 species birds; the large variety of
species is due to the elevated bio-diversity of
the area. Many different types of habitats can be
found which leads to many possibilities for
nesting and feeding.
3
The port and the productive activities
The city is inland, but is connected to the Adriatic Sea by a canal harbour.
The port, with more than 24 million tons handled every year, is one of the most
important in Italy and matches trading and industrial vocation.
The port houses industries including chemicals, energy, metallurgy, agricultural
foodstuffs and offshore.

Ravenna, Mosaic Capital
Ravenna is one of the most singular and rich
cities from an historical and artistic point of view.
Capital of the barbarian kingdoms and the
Byzantine empire, protagonist of European
history between the fifth and sixth centuries, the
city was enhanced by the construction of some of
Italy’s most extraordinary monuments.
The city houses an amazing collection of
basilicas, baptisteries and mausoleums with
enchanting mosaic artworks.
Eight of its monuments have been declared by
UNESCO as patrimonies of humanities for their
supreme display of mosaic work: San Vitale,
Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, Battistero Neoniano,
Sant’Apollinare Nuovo and Sant’apollinare in
Classe,
Battistero
degli
Ariani,
Cappella
Arcivescovile, and the Mausoleo di Teodorico.
5
Functions of the Municipality of Ravenna
The municipality of Ravenna is a local public authority.
It carries out all the administrative functions regarding the
population and the territory. In particular the organic fields of
the welfare, the economic development, the structure and use
of territory, in the ways established by the national and regional
laws.
The organizational model of Ravenna local authority previews
the articulation in 8 Business Units. The Business Unit 6
“Territorial Planning” includes the “Environmental Department”
that takes care of the environmental protection and
improvement of the life quality in the city.

Energy Plan
Seen the petroleum cost always growing and the so distant Kyoto
aims,among the principal activities of the environmental
departement, there is the developing of the Energy Plan in order to
reduce the energy consumption,
The Energy Plan is based on:
 Study of the main features of the present local energetic
system
 Definition of the main goals and strategic guidelines in order
to achieve a local sustainable energy system
 Individuation of actions and politics in order to
 increase the efficiency of the energy system
 promote the renewable energy sources
 decrease the impact of the energy consumptions

LOCAL ENERGETIC SYSTEM

Main trends under way
Energy consumption increasing in all sectors;
 Productive sector  + 75.6%
 Tertiary sector  +21%
 Residential sector  + 8.4%
 Transport sector  +2.6%
It’s necessary to invert these trends
9
Public building sector
Main actions promoted
• Energy audits of the schools
• Boilers substitution
• Structural operation, such as windows substitution, roof rebuilding,…
• Recourse to district heat network in the new projects and where possible
• Photovoltaic pannels installation in school buildings
Others future actions
• To complete the energy audits in all the buildings
• Educational programs direct to building users in order to promote an
efficient usage of the building
• Larger recourse to Renewable Energy Sources technologies

•CONTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN TO PRIVATE CITIZENS FOR THE
TRANSFORMATION TO GPL OR METHANE OF THEIR CARS OR
SUBSTITUTION OF A NON-CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAR WITH A LOW
IMPACT VEHICLE
• CONTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE PURCHASE OF LOW IMPACT
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
•PURCHASE OF LOW IMPACT VEHICLES FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
•INCREASING OF THE CYCLE TRACKS AND OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT

What can the Municipality of Ravenna do ?
We will have to do, in the next future, an important, complex but necessary
work to invert the trend we have seen before. With this aim we fully share
the MUSEC project strategy, based on:
1. Organic energy policies (actions of the local authorities, adequate town
planning and regulation, increas of renewable energy sources, ecc.);
2. Innovative Financing mechanisms;
3. Communication programs;
I am sure that the integration between Ravenna energy plan and MUSEC
project will bring concrete and positive results.
