Between art, culture and landscape. Three Famous cemeteries in Paris. – Along the centuries, a sort of pilgrimage to cemeteries, sometimes to very far ones, took place, as in the famous example of the travel of the poet Caius Va-lerius Catullus to the tomb of his brother.
On the contrary, in the 19th century the fashion to visit outstanding sepulchres, renowned for artistic or cultural purposes, emerged. The example of the cemetery of Genoa-Staglieno is well known, and the Novodèviciy monastery in Moscow was frequented, secretly and if possible, even under the Soviet power.
A recent statistic about the most visited graveyards worldwide reveals that, out of 417 places considered, 192 are Italians, lying in many regions: 55% of the total, while at the 2nd place is Spain with 29 places and 8,3% of the total.
In Paris this type of tourism reaches, above all, that of Père-Lachaise, and then that of Montparnasse and that of Montmartre.

From open borders to their seal. Lombardy armored in the time of Covid-19. – The Covid-19 pandemic, among other things, has led to the ransom of borders. If, until now, the demolition of borders, walls, barbed wire has been exalted, the outbreak and the spread of the pandemic has produced a radical rethinking of the importance of sanitary cordons. In Lombardy, the most emblematic example is that of the area around Codogno. The area was armored, calling it Red, and the effect was that, in a few days, of bringing the infections to zero. In this paper, however, by borders, we do not mean only the territorial ones, but also the social distancing, at various levels, according to the places of contact between oneself and the other. We also include masks, “altruistic” or “selfish”, which become a relational boundary, as it is difficult to distinguish the physiognomy because they hide the pleasure of a mutual smile. The lockdown, however, was a necessary response, which, with the exception of other waves, serious or not, of Covid-19, is driving Lombardy and the whole of Italy towards a better living condition, compared to the one that occurred to Whuan. Although it involves a series of rules to fol-low, first of all the prohibition of “movida” and, in general, crowd.

Breathing the Atmosphere of the Past. The “Strada dello stracchino e della pietra”. – Since many decades the cultural heritage has a very important role in the construction and development of territories. It can be tangible and intangible and it is a factor of the territorial production. Among them several cultural expressions, one of the most important is the typical magri-food production. In this article the attention is focused on the traditional production of stracchino and to its related civilization, which has produced tangible signs in the territories which today represent the authenticity of the territorial development. This is strictly connected to the new and modern forms of tourism, which compose the frame of a “total leisure experience”, such as the one of the valleys studied in this case study.
