Un itinerario culturale sulle vie dell’Etna, tra fede arte e territorio. Il caso studio della “Via Regia”

Between art, faith and territory: a cultural itinerary on the routes of Etna. The Via Regia case study. The “Via Regia” of Etna is a cultural and spiritual itinerary that crosses historic villages, churches and volcanic landscapes of the diocese of Acireale, with the aim of enhancing the sacred, natural and intangible heritage of the territory. Inserted in the model of slow and sustainable tourism, the path promotes inclusive experiences, aware and respectful of the environment, offering travellers an authentic narrative identity and alternative to the circuits of mass tourism. Along the way, sacred art, popular devotion and local traditions are intertwined, allowing you to rediscover the deep meanings of the works in their places of origin. The regenerative value of the Via Regia is a virtuous example of community participation and cultural enhancement.
