ABRUZZO
ON THE LOOSE
A PROJECT PROMOTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF TERAMO, ORGANIZED BY THE ASSOCIATION ABRUZZO A PIEDE LIBERO.
Slow tourism, as an innovative sustainability practice, is a formidable tool for historical, artistic and cultural heritage promotion. On the one hand, it stimulates people to visit territories in a careful and responsible way and, on the other hand, it raises awareness among resident communities towards a more complete activation of local resources. Paths are a typical expression of it with the intrinsic ability to attract a more aware and sustainable tourism for the affected communities. In Abruzzo we can find several examples: il Cammino dei Briganti, il Cammino di San Tommaso, il Cammino delle terre mutate, il Cammino dei Parchi.
Il Cammino d’Abruzzo, a project of the association Abruzzo a Piede Libero, is a wider experience: it covers the entire Abruzzo territory with a path of about 700 Km.
Tax Law Chair of Faculty of Law – University of Teramo, already holder of a national research project about public finance and taxation of cultural heritage, has chosen it as a model of study and deepening.

THE PROJECT
PRIN 2015
Although the Constitutional Charter requires the protection and promotion of landscape and cultural heritage (art. 9), the lack of public funds is sadly known. It is not only a national problem, but a European one. In the Italian experience there’s a lack of fiscal and public finance policies which guarantee a systematic financing to the cultural sector. We can find only sporadic and emergency interventions. Starting from criticalities, the research project has the objective to analyze the most important and relevant international experiences. The project aims to prepare concrete proposal for action in order to ensure sufficient resources for the promotion and the protection of cultural heritage.
THE MEETINGS
TERAMO 23th January 2020
The workshop took place in Teramo on the 23th January, 2020. The meeting aimed to draw the attention to the Abruzzo territory and to the tools useful to promote its culture, its art and history. The 2019 was the year of the slow tourism. As you know slow tourism is an innovative sustainability practice, and a formidable tool for historical, artistic and cultural heritage promotion. On the one hand, it stimulates people to visit territories in a careful and responsible way and, on the other hand, it raises awareness among resident communities towards a more complete activation of local resources. The workshop wishes to sensitize local politicians, touristic operators and local associations about this tool and it discusses with them perspectives and possibilities with them. The seminar has only one session in the morning during which the project of Il Cammino d’Abruzzo was illustrated. A final round table saw experts and scholars expose their experiences and studies.
