The aim of this work isthe enhancement of cultural landscape, through a geotourist itinerary describing theculture as the product of the interaction between humans activities and their livingenvironment. To this aim, the enhancement of the geoheritage is based on thelandforms analysis and the observation of culture as a landscape-modeling agent. Theproposal for the assessment of the Value of a Site for Geotourism (VSG index) wasmade by means of the integration and review of national and international geositesevaluation models. Infact, the aim of this work requested to build up a model focusedon the geotourist relevance of the geosites. The Ernici Mountains are representativeof the italian Central Apennine carbonate platforms. The outcropping lithologiesinfluenced the development of the karst. The abundance of karst cavities inspired thespirituality of many hermits. The monastic culture contributed to the evolution of thepeculiar cultural landscape of Trisulti.
