Yesterday, August 25th 2012, on the terrace of a splendid 19th century villa was held the presentation of a book that decribes one of the symbols of our local culture, the Pistrix or a sea monster that has populated dreams and legends of our ancestors.
The book, 114 pages, was written by a student of local history, Sir Antonio Parlato, who died in 2010.
The event, of great importance for the cultural community of Positano, was introduced by murattori, a local theater company, and presented by Alessandro Cecchi Paone, Matilde Romito, the councillor Giuseppe Guida, the journalist Gerardo Picaro and by the historical Romolo Ercolino.
A special thanks goes to Lucilla, Vincenzo and Anna Parlato, special guests that have allowed the reprinting of the work and to Massimo Capodanno and Enzo Esposito, ever present in cultural events.
Present at the event were also five members of the cultural association The Diwine food, which for two years was interested in the dissemination of local history and gastronomy.
Excellent interventions by Alessandro Cecchi Paone, science writer, and Matilde Romito, director of the Cultural Heritage Sector – Museums and libraries – of the Province of Salerno.
