Case Studies of Literary Parks in Italy as Forms of Cultural Entrepreneurship

The present study explores the role of literary parks in Italy as a form of cultural and experiential tourism, focusing on their contribution to the tourist experience, cultural identity, and sustainable local development. Literary parks constitute a specific paradigm of cultural valorization of literary heritage, as they combine the natural and cultural landscape with the narrative power of literature. Furthermore, they contribute to the strengthening of the local economy, promote alternative forms of tourism, and reinforce local identity, despite challenges such as seasonality and the need for sustainable management.
