Résumé : In the Verona plain (North East of Italy), an area of ancient and diffuse urbanization that is today devoted to modern agriculture, a former district of brick production left a complex of water basins and wastelands of different shape and size resulted by the past intense mining activities. The post-natural ecologies that occurred in these widespread wastelands have become distinctive of the landscape, and are today object of a territorial dispute among landowners, public administrations and the local community. The paper briefly describes the legacy of mining in the rural landscape and the today difficulties behind the rehabilitation of these wastelands in the perspective of becoming a real asset for the regional ecological and slow mobility networks. Within this framework, the paper present a representative case of dump rehabilitation project that is now under discussion.
