ABSTRACT
From an anthropological point of view, a narration of places, as a means of restoring territories, implies recalling
the vision of place as given to us by the French anthropologist Marc Augé, when he speaks of an anthropological
place as opposed to the concept of “non-place”. Anthropological places are all those spaces that have the
prerogative of being identity, relational and historical, legible expressions of the social and historical bond
between inhabitants and territory. An effective narration of places implies the interpretation of this
domesticated space as the result of an encounter between several parties. Telling places, from an
anthropological point of view, means restoring their identity.
From an anthropological point of view, the investigation carried out in the Tremiti Islands, through the
connotation of the ‘human space’ that makes up the cultural landscape, aimed to relate individual memory and
‘tourist space’, where the latter, far from being defined once and for all, is continually renegotiated by local
actors in a typical rhetoric that, taking into account the visitor’s view, constitutes the sense of place.
