Paper Museum in Amalfi

Amalfi, the oldest of the Maritime Republics (with Venice, Pisa, Genoa) contends in Fabriano, in the province of Ancona, the primacy of paper mill production in Italy. Already in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the official documents found speak of paper, although it is not clear whether it is Italian or foreign production.

In any case, a real paper industry developed in Amalfi, which in the eighteenth century resulted in 11 paper mills. Most of these industries were in the Valle dei Mulini, a very beautiful but rather narrow valley. Over the years, the Amalfi paper mills struggled to keep pace with the development of modern industry. The inconstant water supply, in spring and summer was often scarce in other seasons, paper mills had to face the flood risk. There were no communication routes and the small paper mills could not buy modern equipment. All these reasons were the cause of the decay of the Amalfi industry and many paper mills had to close. But the coup de grace was given by the 1954 flood, which destroyed most of the factories. At the end of paper mills, there were only three left. It is obvious that in these circumstances Amalfi certainly could not become the capital of the paper industry, that role remained in Fabriano. But the skilled Neapolitan craftsmen specialized in the production of 'Bambagina', a very special type of paper, produced by hand according to ancient techniques. Nicola Milano, since the age of thirteen active in family industries, decided in 1969 to donate the latest buildings to the foundation 'Museum of Paper & rsquo;, a foundation that intends to preserve this piece of history for future generations.

In the Paper Museum, housed in one of the oldest paper mills in Amalfi, you will find a treasure trove of information, illustrated by many machines for the production of paper: traditional, restored and functioning machines that show you the entire papermaking process.

Elea-Velia, Ascea in Campania, an important archaeological site of ancient Greece

Those who are looking for a holiday destination full of history and culture can not help but consider the archaeological site of Elea-Velia. It is located in the municipality of Ascea (province of Salerno), and in ancient times it was part of Magna Grecia: it had in fact been realized by the Greeks who took were moved to the coasts of Southern Italy. As a result, it is possible to admire many works that are very closely reminiscent of Greek and classical architecture, which characterize the area. Works that mix with those made instead in Roman times (when the locality changed its name to Velia). This makes the archaeological site unique and interesting. An important heritage of the city for which it is also considered a World Heritage Site, is the Eleatic School. This renowned philosophical school founded by the philosopher Parmenides and his disciple Zenon, promoted the truth of Being. The excavations are open every day, and those who go to Elea Velia can admire the harbor area, the Agora, the Acropoli, the Roman and Hellenistic Baths, the Archaic Quarter and the Roman Quarter.

Excursion to the Ridge of the Gods: Ancient Elea of Velia

The Ridge, its name immediately identifies an important part of an elevated and safe path, a hilly ridge of a certain interest, especially when it has been used for centuries by peoples for their travels, trades and why not as then did Domus and Temples for prayers and meditation. An Acropolis built by the Focea colony coming from the coasts of Turkey, extending towards the east, the monumental Porta Rosa, the main entrance of the city and its walls to defend the Site, which rise on the vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub. Built at the end of the 6th century BC before being resumed and strengthened by towers in the Hellenistic age. In fact, in one of the extreme parts stands the Fortilizio di Castelluccio. In the highest areas, a series of terraces, places of worship, for outdoor sanctuaries, called Sacred Terraces (5th century BC). Next to the Acropolis, the Temple of Poseidon Asphaleios used for the cult of gods. A few tens of meters another Hellenistic Temple built between the 3rd century BC and the middle of the second century BC dedicated perhaps to Demeter, the goddess of the fields and harvests or better yet the goddess Mother Earth, but it is said that the cult was for Elea mythological figure. Instead, an imposing square is intended for public meetings, where Cippi dedicated to Zeus (5th century BC) are also found. Then follow the Hellenic Sanctuary Parmenides and Zenon founders of the presocratic philosophical school active in Elea. Archaeological site located in Ascea and Casal Velino, visited every year by thousands of tourists from all over the world, but still today a destination for many scholars and philosophers who come from all over to study the life of Parmenides and Zenon. The remains of Velia are always open to everyone, children do not pay, discounts for students. The best time to visit the site is undoubtedly spring and autumn. You can get there by land by car or even comfortably by train (train station 1 km away).
