Itinerari pluritematici: dai siti archeologici di Pompei ed Ercolano ai presidi protoindustriali del Ducato Amalfitano

The geographical context of the Sorrento-Amalfi peninsula is a strategic pole in the international tourist network, with an exceptional value for the presence of multiple and heterogeneous attractors: archaeological sites, proto-industrial testimonies, naturalistic-environmental beauties, etc. The appropriate territorial development strategies envisage the necessary strategic actions for the recovery and enhancement of the demoetnoantropological peculiarities that characterize marginal urban realities (ie those territorial portions between the internal areas and the coastal and metropolitan areas), mostly transit sites, until now almost excluded by the prevailing touristic itineraries. A strategic connection node, in this territorial context, is represented by the site of the Gragnano’s Mills Valley, key element of interconnection between the two main attractors (‘Sorrento’ area and ‘Amalfi’ area) characterized by a strong tourist demand and from a consequent territorial and economic development.
