Paesaggi in scena I giardini come luoghi di narrazione e fruizione turistica

[Machine translation] The contribution analyzes the role of gardens in contemporary tourism, interpreting them as narrative, experiential and regenerative landscapes. In a context characterized by the growing demand for slow, sustainable and well-being-oriented forms of tourism, gardens emerge as privileged spaces where nature and culture intertwine, offering multisensory experiences and opportunities for learning, relationship and awareness. Through the paradigm of garden tourism, the essay highlights how gardens can contribute to territorial enhancement, the construction of local identities, urban regeneration and the promotion of environmental and social sustainability. Particular attention is paid to the narrative dimension of gardens, understood both as places carrying intrinsic stories and meanings, and as objects of communication and tourism strategies capable of involving visitors and local communities. The contribution concludes by underlining the potential of gardens as innovation laboratories for a more conscious, participatory tourism oriented to the quality of the experience.
