This paper explores the relationship between ‘Nievian’ literary parks and journalistic writing between the 1990s and the early 2000s (from the project's birth to the first consequences of the European investment). An analysis of articles published in major Italian newspapers highlights three key themes that best express how these parks were viewed: the perennial confusion between literary parks and cultural parks, the danger of a consumerist drift, the recognition of all the limitations of the parks established in southern Italy.
