This thesis examines rainfall variability in the Triveneto region (north-eastern Italy) from 2000 to 2024 through an interdisciplinary framework integrating climate data analysis, envi-ronmental perception, cultural interpretation, and didactic application. Rather than focusing on long-term mean trends, the study foregrounds variability, seasonality, and extreme events, approaching rainfall as a heterogeneous and context-dependent climatic process. Drawing on precipitation data from 273 meteorological stations, the quantitative analysis identifies pronounced interannual variability, recurrent anomalies, and persistent regional contrasts shaped by Alpine orography. An exploratory survey (n = 111) investigates how these changes are perceived locally. While the limited sample size does not allow for statis-tical generalisation, the findings highlight recurring interpretative patterns, the role of epi-sodic memory, and the socially mediated character of environmental knowledge. An eco-critical reading of Wolfgang Borchert examines rain as a material and narrative agent. The study concludes by translating these findings into a pedagogical framework aimed at foster-ing environmental literacy. The thesis argues that rainfall variability emerges at the intersection of physical processes, lived experience, and cultural mediation.
Questa tesi esamina la variabilità delle precipitazioni nella regione del Triveneto (Italia nord-orientale) dal 2000 al 2024 attraverso un quadro interdisciplinare che integra l'analisi dei dati climatici, la percezione ambientale, l'interpretazione culturale e l'applicazione didattica. Piuttosto che concentrarsi sulle tendenze medie a lungo termine, lo studio pone l'accento sulla variabilità, la stagionalità e gli eventi estremi, considerando le precipitazioni come un processo climatico eterogeneo e dipendente dal contesto. Basandosi sui dati pluviometrici di 273 stazioni meteorologiche, l'analisi quantitativa individua una marcata variabilità interannuale, anomalie ricorrenti e persistenti contrasti regionali influenzati dall'orografia alpina. Un sondaggio esplorativo (n = 111) indaga come questi cambiamenti siano percepiti a livello locale. Sebbene le dimensioni limitate del campione non consentano generalizzazioni statistiche, i risultati evidenziano schemi interpretativi ricorrenti, il ruolo della memoria episodica e il carattere socialmente mediato della conoscenza ambientale. Una lettura eco-critica di Wolfgang Borchert esamina la pioggia come agente materiale e narrativo. Lo studio si conclude traducendo questi risultati in un quadro pedagogico volto a promuovere la alfabetizzazione ambientale. La tesi sostiene che la variabilità delle precipitazioni emerge all'intersezione tra processi fisici, esperienza vissuta e mediazione culturale.

Abstract
This thesis examines rainfall variability in the Triveneto region (north-eastern Italy) from 2000 to 2024 through an interdisciplinary framework integrating climate data analysis, envi-ronmental perception, cultural interpretation, and didactic application. Rather than focusing on long-term mean trends, the study foregrounds variability, seasonality, and extreme events, approaching rainfall as a heterogeneous and context-dependent climatic process. Drawing on precipitation data from 273 meteorological stations, the quantitative analysis identifies pronounced interannual variability, recurrent anomalies, and persistent regional contrasts shaped by Alpine orography. An exploratory survey (n = 111) investigates how these changes are perceived locally. While the limited sample size does not allow for statis-tical generalisation, the findings highlight recurring interpretative patterns, the role of epi-sodic memory, and the socially mediated character of environmental knowledge. An eco-critical reading of Wolfgang Borchert examines rain as a material and narrative agent. The study concludes by translating these findings into a pedagogical framework aimed at foster-ing environmental literacy. The thesis argues that rainfall variability emerges at the intersection of physical processes, lived experience, and cultural mediation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
