The I Parchi Letterari® network was reconstituted in 2010 following a responsible approach to landscape, cultural heritage and local economies.
There are currently 29 Literary Parks in Italy, encompassing around 60 municipalities and ensuring a permanent presence over a large part of the Italian territory. Two Literary Parks are in operation in Norway and project phases have been initiated to establish Literary Parks in Albania, Greece, France and Belgium.
Not only the authors and their works to which the parks are dedicated, but the many stories, environments, monuments, traditions, rocks, trees, rivers, paths and individual people come together in a landscape that links man and the environment in an ever-evolving cultural web.
And the Literary Parks seek to accompany this evolution by whispering to the visitor the verses and words of Virgil, Giuseppe Antonio Borgese, Carlo Levi, Isabella Morra, Federico II, Francesco Petrarca, Giuseppe Dessì, Grazia Deledda Gabriele d'Annunzio and many others.
