Abstract
Puglia Literary Festivals. Numbers and Features of a Southern Cultural
Landscape
In the last twenty years, a lot of cultural festivals have spread in Italy. These
cultural activities have specific features when compared to the more tradi-
tional book fairs, so that their rapid growth has led some scholars in cultural
economics and publishing problems to analyse them in various studies and
reports. The present essay, analysing the main Puglia literary festivals, more
generally reflects on the features and identity of a cultural phenomenon in
continuous growth and transformation.
Keywords: Festival; Puglia; book; Publishing; Literature.
