Project: Langhe Monferrato Roero Countryside and Literary ParkA development agency of North West of Italy, working with heritage valorisation and promotion, would like to exchange their experience with other European networks working in these subjects, and eventually submit together a Culture Programme project.

The Parco Paesaggistico e Letterario Langhe Monferrato Roero (Langhe Monferrato Roero Countryside and Literary Park) promotes the countryside and cultural heritage of Lower Piedmont through an itinerary that integrates several different literary itineraries to discover the places where some famous authors worked and lived: Giovanni Arpino, Vittorio Alfieri, Beppe Fenoglio, Davide Lajolo, Augusto Monti, Cesare Pavese.

The link between the authors and this territory combines two essential dimensions. The physical, in other words some literary scenarios and places, and above all the identification, in other words the traditions, the customs and the everyday lives. The park directs its proposals at a diverse public, trying to differentiate and improve the cultural offer, paying special attention to the participation of young people. Events conceived to combine awareness and entertainment animate the historical villages and trails near woods and vineyards, set in a countryside that really lends itself well to capturing the new needs for contact with nature and the search for wellbeing expressed by increasingly wider brackets of visitors.

Within the overall project, shared and worked at by local public and private actors, the objective to improve tourist use of the area involves creating complementary actions like: strengthening the identity of local communities by getting to know the heritage spread over the territory, stimulating the recovery of traditional economic activities, conserving and improving the quality of the environment, resolving architectonic emergencies, guaranteeing use of the heritage and promoting quality hospitality.
