“…All of this led us to reflect on the potential synergy between cultural and religious usable for the purposes of sustainable tourism of a destination [13][14][15]: in fact, there are destinations that offer a variety of attractions that are not systematized, which aim to "satisfy" a particular profile of tourists (for example, religious, cultural, food and wine, or ludic tourist) without considering the opportunity to create a tourist offer that can serve more types of tourists with different needs [16]. This is what happens in Pompeii, an Italian municipality of the metropolitan city of Naples known throughout the world for its historical-cultural dimensions.…”

Tourism scholars and players of the sector alike are very interested in the motivations for the tourist’s journey, as they influence the demand—with regard to the choice of the destination and the organization of the trip—and the offer—with regard to the definition of the tourism product. Religious tourism is an important area of the scientific debate on the motivation to travel; part of the literature clearly distinguishes the cultural and laical motivation of tourists (which can be considered religious tourism) from the desire to live an experience of faith (pilgrimage), while today, the orientation of scholars is to bring back under the label “religious” spiritual, religious, and cultural motivations. This study analyzes the case of the city of Pompeii, and it aims to investigate the possible synergy that could be created between the historical-cultural and religious interests of the city, identifying possible strategies for sustainable tourism. The study develops a quali-quantitative analysis of the reviews of the “Pontifical Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Holy Rosary of Pompeii” on TripAdvisor and presents a content analysis on the most frequent words utilized by users to describe their touristic experience.

“…In synthesis, this decree represents, for the Minister of MiBACT, the instrument to 'revolutionize' the organization and function of the national state museums, leading this organization to 'modernization'; the 'modern' organizations will be characterized by a high degree of professionalization, which will ensure the dynamism in governance and management (Nigro et al, 2014b;Nigro et al, 2015).…”

Purpose of the paper:This study aims to analyze the role of Italian universities in the 'managerialization' process of the cultural heritage sector, which is under a major process of change, merged in the recent reform of the Italian museums' system.Methodology: This work adopts the new-institutionalism perspective to draw a quali-quantitative analysis of the offer of masters in Management (at both first and second level) of the Italian Universities. In particular, it presents a content analysis of the most recurrent profiles of masters activated by Italian Universities that are consistent with the issues of the cultural heritage sector.Findings: The main finding of the research is the presence of 'window dressing' in which the real contents of the master are not contextualized in the cultural sector.Research limits: This work gives only the results of a first step of analysis. The group wishes for an extended time of work aimed at developing a longitudinal analysis of processes of formation.Practical implications: This study, by bringing out the close interconnections between universities and the cultural heritage sector, reveals the necessity of a partnership that makes more coherent the educational path and the demands of the cultural sector.Originality of the paper: This study presents a content analysis on the most recurrent profiles of masters activated by Italian Universities that are consistent with the issues of the cultural heritage sector, in order to observe the presence of "normative isomorphism".
