  • Sintesi Analisi Comparativa Della Soluzione Alternativa Ai Progetti Di
    SCHEDA ANALISI COMPARATIVA AUSINO Sintesi analisi comparativa della soluzione alternativa ai progetti di realizzazione 1 dei depuratori in Costiera Amalfitana a servizio dei Comuni di Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Scala e Tramonti con il collettamento dei reflui al depuratore consortile di Salerno L’Ausino servizi idrici integrati ha proposto alla Provincia di Salerno una soluzione alternativa ai progetti di realizzazione dei depuratori in Costiera Amalfitana a servizio dei Comuni di Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Scala e in più Tramonti con il collettamento dei reflui al depuratore consortile di Salerno che appare essere più sostenibile e meno aggressiva per il territorio. La soluzione analizzata è rappresentata essenzialmente da una condotta sottomarina di adduzione, della lunghezza di 18,1 km circa, che consentirebbe di evitare di realizzare i due nuovi impianti di depurazione: Maiori-Minori (27.000 ab.eq.) e Ravello-Atrani-Scala (11.500 ab.eq.) oltre al futuro e necessario potenziamento di un terzo impianto, ovvero quello di Tramonti (7.000 ab.eq). Il confronto tra le due alternative, ambedue compatibili con le normative vigenti, è stato sviluppato tenendo conto dei seguenti aspetti: Economici: la condotta sottomarina di adduzione con le relative opere a terra, trova capienza nelle somme destinate ai progetti delle nuove realizzazioni previste (impianti di Maiori-Minori e RavelloAtrani-Scala) e risulta di ben più facile realizzazione e gestione. Tempi di attuazione: la posa di una condotta sottomarina DN560 in PE per circa 18,1 km, tra l’attuale stazione di pompaggio in Maiori e l’area dell’impianto di depurazione di Salerno, (compresa tra le foci del torrente Fuorni e del fiume Picentino), richiede un tempo di realizzazione brevissimo, pari a circa 3 mesi di lavoro, ben inferiori a qualunque altra soluzione, finanche delle stesse opere a terra necessarie per collegare tutti i comuni serviti.

It is the only city in the ancient world that has not perished like Ilium, like Nineveh, like Babylon. It is the only city in the world that has not sunk in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilisation. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried.” In the company of an expert storyteller, embark on a journey through the vibrant heart of this mysterious southern capital, discovering decorated catacombs, richly encoded chapels and aged rituals. Customise your tour, choosing from: – Farmacia degli Incurabili: This pharmaceutical laboratory was a meeting point for the Neapolitan Enlightened elite. Discover the intriguing anecdotes of a place where art and science collided. – Biblioteca dei Girolamini: Home to a vast archive of books and opera music since 1586, this is the oldest public library in Naples. – San Gaudioso Catacombs: Concealed beneath the Basilica di Santa Maria della Santità lies one of the most important early Christian cemeteries in Naples. Head underground to unearth the mysterious crypt’s secrets. – Sansevero Chapel: Preserving the Veiled Christ, one of the greatest masterpieces ever carved in marble, this chapel is an iconic example of 18th-century creativity. The statues appear so fluid and soft, you may be tempted to reach out and touch them. Visits may vary according to availability.

  • Comunicato Stampa
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Bilancio più che positivo per la prima giornata del Gusta Minori 2016 nella serata di sabato 27 agosto sarà presente anche il Presidente della Regione Campania, Vincenzo De Luca E’ iniziata nel migliore dei modi la ventesima edizione del Gusta Minori, la kermesse che, dal 26 al 28 agosto, coniuga arte, cultura, spettacolo e gastronomia, diventata uno degli appuntamenti imperdibili del calendario estivo in Costiera Amalfitana. Una grande affluenza di pubblico ed applausi a scena aperta hanno accolto il conferimento della cittadinanza onoraria di Minori al professor Giuseppe Liuccio, consulente culturale del Gusta Minori sin dal 2002, nonché il riconoscimento della manifestazione come evento di interesse comunale, votata all’unanimità da tutta l’assise cittadina. Sul sagrato della Basilica di Santa Trofimena, alla presenza di tutti i sindaci della Costa d’Amalfi, del senatore Alfonso Andria, del Presidente della Provincia di Salerno Giuseppe Canfora, del Prefetto di Alessandria Romilda Tafuri e del Presidente del Gusta Minori Corporation Antonio Porpora, il vulcanico professor Giuseppe Liuccio ha ripercorso la storia della sua vita che l’ha portato, per la prima volta, ad Amalfi in qualità di docente di lettere del locale liceo e fu “amore a prima vista, innamoramento che dura ancora oggi”; da quel momento, infatti, ha partecipato con slancio e gioia in maniera attiva alla promozione turistica di tutto il comprensorio amalfitano, diventando a tutti gli effetti cittadino della costiera, come è stato giustamente sottolineato dal rappresentante della conferenza dei sindaci. Un ricordo commosso, poi, è stato rivolto al compianto Ezio Falcone, gastronomo e cultore della storia del territorio, pioniere della riscoperta degli antichi sapori della Costiera Amalfitana e artefice, con gli altri, dei successi ottenuti dal Premio Internazionale di Letteratura Enogastronomica.

    Travel’s taste YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL PARTNER IN ITALY www.italycreative.it Amalfi Coast Amalfi More about: things to know Coast www.italycreative.it Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests. Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.

    By Wanderlust Storytellers Quick Overview: • Day 1: Drive to Amalfi Coast and explore Positano • Day 2: Enjoy the stunning Ilse of Capri • Day 3: Explore the beautiful coastal towns along the Amalfi Coast drive Accommodation: • 2 Nights at either Positano, Praiano, Ravello or Amalfi (We recommend 3 nights in Amalfi) HELPFUL INFORMATION When to Go: May – June and September – October Try to avoid heading there in the middle of summer as it will be sweltering hot and you will find crowds everywhere! How Long Should I Stay on the Amalfi Coast? We highly recommend a minimum of 3 days and 4 nights. Most travelers choose to spend 7 days on Amalfi Coast which is the optimum amount of days to fit in all the towns, walks, beaches and day trips. Which Town Should I Stay at on the Amalfi Coast? Our absolutely favourite town to stay in is Positano. It is truly the most beautiful out of all the towns but unfortunately it is also one of the costlier ones to stay at. Read more about Positano in our guide here. If you need help in figuring out where to stay, you will find our detailed comparison table and review guide of the towns beneficial. How to get from Naples to Amalfi Coast: • Options: You have the option of catching local transport (bus, train, ferry); grabbing a private transfer (we personally love Blacklane Transfers); or Renting a Car (our personal favourite method). • Time Required to get from Naples to Positano: Around 1.30 hours (more if driving in rush hour traffic) Day One POSITANO ACCOMMODATION: Amalfi MORNING | Drive from Naples to Positano Depending on your arrival time in Naples, you could either visit Pompeii or Sorrento on the way down to Positano.
