The basic idea was to use the literary source as a code for reading the territory, to discover and enhance its different aspects that configure its identity: from the cultural and historical to the naturalistic, from the anthropological to the food and wine.
Over the years Aliano has increasingly become a place of life and inspiration for the writer Carlo Levi. Houses, streets, but also landscapes and countryside described in the text, become a cultural and environmental heritage to protect, enhance and make increasingly accessible to visitors through sensory paths aimed at reviving the memory of the writer and making people experience, taste, hear, touch and observe everything that led the author to write historic pages of literature.
The Literary Park “Carlo Levi” is made of hospitality, guided tours, spectacular events, and includes activities in food and wine and crafts, diligently managed and enhanced with a character of continuity, strongly connected to the territory and that have become a point of reference in the local cultural scene. All the initiatives of the Park aim to recover and enhance identity, culture, local history and traditions, implement programs aimed at spreading and knowledge of literature, visual arts and entertainment, promote studies, research, conferences, publications, exhibitions, shows, competitions, literary awards of particular interest.
All efforts are concentrated to achieve this ambitious goal and therefore not only has the Park been provided with a headquarters and an information point but also premises have been prepared as a support, used as a center for collecting material on the author and the places, visitor center, library and video library, meetings, conferences, debates, screenings and shows. Appropriate signage of the places included in the Park has also been created.
