Abstract

In the Italian province of Trento, there is the Sculpture Park of Arte Sella, where a tour combines the environmental creations from various artists with nature, referring this proposal to the theoretical and programmatic manifestations of Land Art. The project is structured as a new product of heritage, participating of the different features that structure the concept of the cultural commons, and showing a capacity of distinction from other cultural tourist offers. Its capacity of differentiation and showmanship, along with the claim of the environment and contact with the nature, has generated that Arte Sella is inserted into the different specifications of cultural tourism, rural tourism and ecotourism, while gives a favorable framework for sustainable development.
