Turismo religioso: confronto Italia-Spagna

Abstract

This paper has the goal to analyze the religious tourism in Italy and in Spain, comparing and verifying differences and similarities. In both the countries, the religious tourism has a main role, even if with a different approach in terms of faith and cult. In Spain the case of «Santiago pilgrim path» is very different because involves pilgrimage and tourism with a main role of apostolic activities. In Italy religious tourism is well represented by the need to express its own faith with practical actions such as the «ex voto» in some main cases such as Pompei, Assisi and Pietrelcina. In both the cases there is the confirmation of faith, even if with different approaches.
