YOUR PARTNER IN ITALY

POSITANO : it is characterized by its bright colours, realized by craftsmen. You will admire many dress and sandal shops along via dei Mulini. According to the legend, the green villa, on the Big Shore, was the mill where the slaves ex-criminals or ex-lovers ground the flour and pasted the bread that was brought every day to Capri for the cafeteria of Toberio.

LI GALLI: the three islands-rocks, near Postano, were described by Omero as the places where the mermaids that seduced Ulisse lived.

RAVELLO : we remember you that during the summer in Villa Rufolo we remember you that during the summer in Villa Rufolo concerts of classical musical are given, above all music by wagner.

PAESTUM :

The ancient Poseidonia, founded by greek colonies of Sibari around 600 BC on the rives of Sele, became a Roman colony with the name of Paestum in 273 BC. The decline started in the 1st century BC because of malaria, that kept on spreading with the marsh in the zone caused by bradyseism and by the intense deforestation: the pines of Lucania revealed themselves optimum materials for roman’s ships. The citizen tried to resist the waters: they lift up the streets and the house doorways, and moved to the highest place of the city, in the holly area, turning the Temple of Hera into a temple; finally they left the zone moving to Carpaccio.

CERTOSA DI PADULA :

Padula was divided in two sections: the one for the lay brothers, in charge of the commissions of everyday life, and the one for the hermitage, from which the 24 Chartusians went out only to go to the Church and for lunch in Sundays. Each monk, in his hermitage, had his own cell and a orchard, needed to produce his food. Even not being vegetarians, the monks followed a diet that allowed the eating of eggs and fish, but not meat. Every week they were allowed to take a walk outside, in the green space called “desert”.
