Abstract

This work seeks to contribute to the debate on the potential of literary resources as elements of territorial and tourist enhancement by analysing the geographical-landscape dimension and highlighting the process and purposes that led to the creation of the literary itinerary ‘Italo Calvino, Sanremo and its surroundings’. It focuses particularly on its reception and acknowledgment at local level, looking at its potential implications in terms of tourism and enhancement of the historical-cultural heritage of the area. The analysis is also supported by data from a questionnaire dedicated to the users of the territory of Sanremo in order to understand the level of knowledge of the itinerary and the cultural-historical legacy of the figure of Calvino.
