Literature is a veritable island of happiness for personal fantasy and creativity, but it is also the result of the fascination exerted by the language, history, art, tradition, and culture of a place on the genes from which it springs. A system for preserving, reappraising, and recovering Sicily's vast literary heritage - the heritage of a land of storytellers and poets - has been provided by the creation of the Literary Parks - geographical areas corresponding to authors and their works, intended to be seen as a journey of human and literary experience, a space of the mind before that of the body. The Literary Parks enable us to discover the places that inspired the authors of the finest pages that tell the tale of Sicily.
