Social Events

On Tuesday 12th there will be the excursion. During the excursion in the afternoon, an expert guide will allow us to get access to the beauties and hystory of Amalfi, moving from the Cathedral along the hidden corners of the town where tradition and hystorical heritage merge into a unique atmosphere.

The visit will include a stop at the Paper Mill Museum. Amalfi held intense trade relationships with the Orient and therefore most probably they have directly imported the art of papermaking from the Orientals.
