Geographies of Perception : space, identity and rapresentations in insular contexts

Description:

Sicilian smaller islands are an excellence in the regional territory. They
are attractive tourist destinations thanks to their precious natural, marine,
cultural and archaeological heritage, in which landscape plays a crucial
role in attracting people, offering unrepeatable and invaluable identity.
Landscape conservation on smaller islands represents an important
chance to protect the unique feature of a territory in which the beauty of
the land blends with the history of the place. The landscape, in fact, must
not be considered just as a visual element, but rather as a blend of cultural,
natural and economic resources. The natural element is perfectly mixed with
human activities and these, over the years, have contributed to create those
elements of preciousness that make it exclusive, a living memory of all those
cultures that have contributed to create its shape. The territory of the Aeolian
Islands represents an important pole of attraction and tourist destination
with exceptional resources. Unesco World Heritage Site, the seven islands
are a treasure of history, nature and food culture. Over the last decades,
the Aeolian Islands have set the scene for remarkable tourist development.
