Manuscript
The paper presents a project regarding geological dissemination in a geopark by engaging the local population to suggest tales later write in a book. Each tale is linked to a geosite; both, tales and geosites, are connected along a geotouristic trail that explores some of the geological evolutionary stages of the crossed area, as depicted through the tales and some artistic pictures (in the supplement booklet).
I read with interest the work, enjoing the booklet, that unfortunately at the moment it is only written in Italian. This could be a limit to the interest of the work, given that the methodology and the aim are well explained but one of the the products (the booklet) can be well appreciated almost exclusively by those who read Italian.
I have only a few small suggestions for the Authors that can be read along the attached commented file.
About the figures, I suggest to enlarge at the maximum size of the page all maps and to delete the figure 7, adding some information to the figure 2.
Concluding, I reccomand (suggest) the publication of the work hoping in a future translation of the booklet.
Best regards
Marcello Tropeano
