566 F. FAMOSO, G. PETINO In a subsequent step we dealt with the quantifcation, verifcation and correction of the error coefcient that is always present in this kind of survey. The traced path is located in places that, depending on the type of fruition, may be considered “obligatory passage” for pilgrims and free passage for tourists. This double value is also a double perspective of trav- el given that who decides to begin the “itinerary” could appreciate the surrounding environment even if he is not driven by a religious sense. This environment is made up of urban fragments, often degraded, and allows also to contemplate the landscape attractions ofered by territo- ry. In this way deviations could create new interstitial opportunities for those communities living on the economic margins of society, oppressed among highly attractive touristic destinations, such as the case of the in- ternational touristic district Taormina-Giardini Naxos. By considering all of municipalities involved in the itinerary, with the exception of Santa Teresa Riva and Tindari, respectively the departure and the destination of the pilgrimage, the performance in terms of tourist ofer is quite poor with very low quantity of basic and not basic services scattered in the surrounding territory. Therefore, the itinerary could be seen as an im- portant tool of territorial governance in order to project, plan and pro- gram some socio-economic interventions able to activate economics in Fig. 4.
