Al confine della realtà. Leggende e immaginario in Val San Martino

This chapter, titled “Al confine della realtà. Leggende e immaginario in Val San Martino”, investigates the local legends of the Val San Martino through the analysis of toponyms and their connection to the physical and cultural landscape. It develops a “legendary itinerary” across the territory, showing how the legends are closely tied to the morphology of the land and strongly rooted in the local environment. By linking place names, landscape features, and narrative traditions, the contribution highlights the interplay between territorial forms and cultural imagination, offering insights into how local memory and storytelling are embedded in the spatial and morphological fabric of the valley.
