Itinerari per la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale delle aree interne: l’Alta Irpinia

The essay addresses the topic of cultural itineraries as privileged tools for the integrated enhancement and inclusive enjoyment and use of the cultural heritage of the Inner Areas with reference to Alta Irpinia and more generally to marginalized territorial contexts, pe nalized by the absence of infrastructure and effective connection networks. The principles of sustainability, innovation, accessibility, and physical and cultural permeability of places underlie the Piano Strategico di Sviluppo del Turismo 2017-2022 (PST). They represent an extraordinary opportunity to promote and extend to the Inner Areas a responsible tour ism, cultured and attentive to the enhancement of minor centers and to the uniqueness and richness of the stratified territorial, environmental and cultural heritage; a tourism that one would not want to define as cultural in order not to implicitly admit the existence of a superficial tourism, poorly considered and little attentive to the context and history of places. Instead, a tourism that is intended to be firmly anchored in the construction of a solid, thorough and dynamic system of knowledge, of reference for the interpretation, en joyment and use of heritage.
