And ‘the experience that you will do on Saturday night (July 30) in Cetara, the village of the Amalfi Coast’s most famous in the world for its famous anchovies, elixirs with whom there was a famous dish with spaghetti. But because the “Night of Lampare”? It’s simple: do not forget the tradition of the ancient technique of anchovy fishing with “lampara” and to highlight at every opportunity history and culture of the area. But we explain to those unfamiliar with boats and fishing equipment that is the “lampara”, the boat used for these fishing trips to the little blue fish.

The lampara is a type of lamp mounted on a boat and is used at night to light up large areas of water, usually in the bow of the hull, with the aim in mind, through the light, to attract the fish to the surface and then trap them in network. And then all the small boats which use the “fishing lights”, by extension, they are also called “lampara”. The evening’s program? Soon he said. It goes into the sea in the moonlight. The evening of Saturday, July 30, at approximately 20:30, a cianciola cetarese, with the lamps in tow, will kick off and will compete in the anchovy fishery, followed by the ferries that will accompany all those who want to attend the fishing trip. Meanwhile on Cetara beach will start the tasting of fried anchovies and other local products. After returning from fishing it will proceed to the illumination of Cetara bay with the lamps and continue the tastings on the beach. The evening will be accompanied by a show of Neapolitan classical music. There will be stalls with local products.
