Abstract

[Machine translation] By virtue of its universality, music proves to be the communication medium par excellence capable of moving a significant number of people who choose a destination to follow the steps traced by music, helping to create an important industry in the places where musical events take place. Musical destinations thus become the reason for a travel-experience to be experienced through the senses. In the light of these general considerations, the contribution is part of studies on the relationship between music and places of production or listening, paying particular attention to the role of music festivals that, both in Italy and abroad, have increased significantly in recent years both in terms of quantity and quality. By choosing musical expression as a factor of identity and cultural and tourist attraction positively conveyed by quality and appealing events, the paper traces, in a first part, the connections between music and tourism from a clear theoretical-methodological point of view. This is followed by a second part aimed at illustrating some cases (Umbria Jazz, Salzburger Festspiele and Stresa Festival) considered significant in order to demonstrate how festivals - and the musical occasions that characterize them - constitute strong attractions for the territories that host them, thus acting as levers for local cultural and tourist enhancement, offering an original interpretation with qualified scientific impact at the national level.
