Literary tourism, although historically one of the first typologies of leisure travel, has traditionally been considered as ‘niche tourism’. In today’s common perception only few literary tourists visit places where the action of some favourite novel or play took place, or where a beloved author was born or died. Nowadays, the phenomenon of literature on screen, i.e. film adaptations of literary works, is gaining more and more importance in the wide field of creative industries, becoming a valid support to literary tourism. The case of a screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), that was released in 2004 with the title of A Good Woman, and filmed on the Coast of Amalfi, looks like a glamorous advertisement of one of the most exclusive tourist sites of Italy.
Pur tradizionalmente una delle prime tipologie di viaggio di piacere, il turismo letterario è sempre stato considerato fenomeno ‘di nicchia’. Nella percezione più recente del fenomeno, il numero di turisti che visitano spazi dove si sono svolte le azione di romanzi o opere teatrali, o luoghi dove hanno vissuto o sono morti gli autori più amati sono relativamente pochi. Oggi sta invece conquistando ampi spazi il fenomeno della letteratura cinematografica, che si inserisce nell’ampio territorio delle industrie creative, e diviene valido supporto del turismo letterario. Il caso dell’adattamento cinematografico di Lady Windermere’s Fan di Oscar Wilde (1892), uscita nelle sale cinematografiche nel 2004 con il titolo A Good Woman e girato sulla Costiera Amalfitana, si pone come affascinante esempio di spot pubblicitario per uno dei siti turistici più esclusivi ed eleganti d’Italia.

Abstract
Literary tourism, although historically one of the first typologies of leisure travel, has traditionally been considered as ‘niche tourism’. In today’s common perception only few literary tourists visit places where the action of some favourite novel or play took place, or where a beloved author was born or died. Nowadays, the phenomenon of literature on screen, i.e. film adaptations of literary works, is gaining more and more importance in the wide field of creative industries, becoming a valid support to literary tourism. The case of a screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), that was released in 2004 with the title of A Good Woman, and filmed on the Coast of Amalfi, looks like a glamorous advertisement of one of the most exclusive tourist sites of Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
