質の良い地域産品, 新しいライフスタイル, エノガストロノミア・ツーリズム ―アドリア海沿岸のいくつかの州におけるオルタナティブな発展 Prodotti locali di qualità, nuovi stili di vita e turismo enogastronomico: lo sviluppo alternativo di alcune regioni adriatiche

(3) Short abstract (overall message) The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the existence of an ideal continuum between quality foods characterizing specific local realities, the traditional eating habits and diets associated with them, and culinary tourism. I’ll try to demonstrate how the existence of this continuum can lead to innovative forms of development in traditionally marginal areas with reference to some case studies in the Italian Adriatic regions, and how it provides opportunities to different territories with similar characteristics also in other geographical contexts. (4) Interesting points (what are your chapter’s uniqueness and newness?) - It links subjects that in the scientific literature are, often, separately treated - It provides evidence for how the relationships between the global and local can be effectively used for local development - It provides case studies and success stories - It provides elements concerning food filière, Mediterranean diet, Slow Food movement, culinary tourism, that can be of interest for a Japanese audience - It is written having in mind the Japanese territory with some attempts to connect the Italian and the Japanese realities
