COST G2 "PASTA"
The action terminated in 2002. For reference, these pages give details of the action in its final form. Much attention is given to recording and preserving European cultural heritage, but action on the rural heritage and its structures and techniques has fallen far behind. There is an urgent need to understand that heritage and to carry out an inventory in the face of destruction attributable to recent agricultural techniques, rapid urban growth, and the threat of "de-farming" through shrinkage and set-aside.

Pliny the Elder, The Natural History
THIS treatise on Natural History, a novel work in Roman literature, which I have just completed, I have taken the liberty to dedicate to you, most gracious1 Emperor, an appellation peculiarly suitable to you, while, on account of his age, that of great is more appropriate to your Father;— "For still thou ne'er wouldst quite despise The trifles that I write2;" if I may be allowed to shelter myself under the example of Catullus, my fellow-countryman3, a military term, which you well understand. For he, as you know, when his napkins had been changed4, expressed himself a little harshly, from his anxiety to show his friendship for his dear little Veranius and Fabius5. At the same time this my importunity may effect, what you complained of my not having done in another too forward epistle of mine; it will put upon record, and let all the world know, with what kindness you exercise the imperial dignity. The Greeks were wonderfully happy in their titles.
