The name Praiano comes from the Latin Pelagium (open sea). Even if there
are no useful info about this town before Middle Ages, maybe the area was
already inhabited during Roman Empire. It belonged to the Sea Republic of
Amalfi and the doges choose it as a summer residence.
During Angevin period a beautiful tower was built to protect Praiano,
Assiola Tower, called “Sciola”. In that period there were two
hamlets forming Praiano: Praiano and Vettica Maggiore.
One of the most important resource of Praiano has always been coral
fishing, practised since 1800.
Other activities were lines processing; the productions of hair
nets; and brine anchovies. |
