Re-using literary and artistic cartographies helps to rediscover and promote tourism in marginal rural and mountain areas of the Alpine macroregion. Novelists’ and travel writers’ narratives and representations of sites in novels and travel memories are an extraordinary resource to understand the “sense” of places by combining realism to creative re-elaboration. Literary authors’ representations of places may not always respect the exact cartography, but they help to approach visitors to unusual sites as well as to guide them to catch the atmosphere of sites.
