Cetara, the tiny village on the Amalfi Coast, has an ancient fishing tradition, especially for the anchovies fishing technique.
The event which occurs on July 21th is arranged to relive the ancient fishing technique with “the Lampara”, which is a type of light set on the Cetara’s typical boat “Cianciola”. This light manages to beam a large portion of sea, which attracts fish that then remain trapped in the fishing nets.

The “Cianciole Cetaresi” (typical boats) can show you the fishing practice to catch the anchovies and there are many boats and ferries for the ones who would like to attend the event. After fishing, the evening continues on the Cetara Bay, lighted with the lampare.
On the beach you can taste fish and local food and enjoy popular music and the concert of the “Filarmonica mediterranea”.
Enjoy Cetara… Relive the traditions of the past that locals will bring into the present… Do not miss it!
We highly suggest to come by ferries, to avoid traffic and parking problems.
