La raccolta delle olive tra le famiglie di Massa Lubrense

Category:Blog,Featured,Food Tags : 

di Valentina Formisano

L’autunno coincide con il tempo della raccolta delle olive e, in particolare, per molte famiglie di Massa Lubrense è il momento magico che avvia il processo di produzione dell’olio d’oliva.

Quest’area di storia e miti gode di terreni stupendi con rigogliose piante magiche, ha il valore di mani che si sporcano con nobiltà nel contatto con la terra e le olive, di macchinari che girano instancabilmente per spremere i loro frutti.
Lavorare le olive è un’arte in tutte le sue fasi: dalla raccolta alla loro molitura, sino al poterne assaporare il gusto nei piatti tipici della cucina mediterranea.

Cogliendo al volo la generosità dei fratelli Pollio dell’Agriturismo “La Lobra” e di Antonio Gargiulo dell’Oleificio “Le Colline Lubrensi”, vivo per un giorno la magia della raccolta delle olive all’interno di un uliveto affacciato sul Vesuvio e sul piccolo porticciolo di Massa, sospeso tra il cielo e il mare delle sirene.

Su questo suolo i fratelli Claudio, Giuseppe e Tullio sono vocati alla conduzione naturale di un luogo spettacolare, coltivano per restituire alla terra ciò che la terra ci dà: la vita.

Si raccolgono le olive e si piantano ortaggi all’ombra dei terrazzamenti rivolti verso il Golfo di Napoli, qui nel borgo dell’Annunziata, a pochi passi della storica dimora di Giacchino Murat.

Tutto intorno è campagna verde, argentata d’ulivi.

I colori di questa giornata di metà ottobre sono più che mai intensi e luminosi, aprono lo sguardo allo stupore.

Olive a Massa Lubrense

Il blu del mare con le sue delicate tonalità fa da sfondo alle case della Marina della Lobra, che tra i rami degli ulivi si intravedono.

L’azzurro di queste acque ricche di miti, il colore dei tradizionali gozzi con cui vanno per mare i nostri pescatori, come il cielo su cui si staglia il Vesuvio, e in lontananza le isole di Ischia e Procida.

Il verde degli ulivi che incorniciano questo splendido panorama, come le lunghe distese dei limoneti che profumano l’aria di Massa Lubrense.

Omaggio alla bellezza in Massa Lubrense

Category:Blog,Events,Featured,Outdoors,Pro Loco Tags : 

From June to October in Massa Lubrense the program Omaggio alla bellezza is held, a project that involves the territory with multiple free events.

Open-air musical events return to enchant us with the fifth edition of Natura in concerto: musical performances in places with a mythical charm.

The cycle of guided walking tours proposed by the Pro Loco Massa Lubrense is part of Omaggio alla bellezza: the Passeggiate d’estate are excursions with environmental guides, with tasting of local products in farms or agritourisms.

Alla ricerca della valle perduta nella Terra delle Sirene” is the title of the proposals of the Pro Loco Due Golfi and the Massa Lubrense branch of the Archeoclub: four itineraries inspired by the lives of Ignazio Chiaiese, Torquato Tasso, Norman Douglas, Teofilo and Gianbattista Folengo.

AGAT Massa Lubrense also offers a rich calendar of excursions in the area: “Alla scoperta dei borghi” emphasizes its historic centers, monuments and religious buildings.

The program also includes activities organized by the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area: open days to visit the park’s visitor center, canoe and snorkelling excursions to get to know our coast and sea.

For the little ones, the much appreciated Merende itineranti continue: walks for children with outdoor theater, workshops and organic snacks. There is no shortage of amusing magic shows in the squares and playgrounds of Massa Lubrense.

Throughout the summer it is also possible to take part in yoga and pilates classes outdoors: the best way to seek your own well-being in the newfound connection with the environment that surrounds us.

Pilates at the Annunziata Castle

Category:Blog,Events,Featured,Outdoors,Pro Loco Tags : 

Pilates at the castle is a cycle of 7 outdoor meetings, at sunset, designed to promote conscious breathing through fluid and coordinated movements.

The free pilates lessons are held by the physiotherapist Carla Marciano, in the splendid location of the Aragonese Castle of the Annunziata, one of the jewels of the municipal heritage of Massa Lubrense.


Info and reservations:

Pro Loco Massa Lubrense (9:30 – 13:00)
Viale Filangieri, 11
+390815339021
+393510862663 (WhatsApp)


Exercising in the open area is the best way to feel good not only with yourself but also with the nature that surrounds us.

Outdoors, it is easier to put aside any negative thoughts, concentrating completely on movement and breathing, with great health benefits: the body acquires elasticity, fluidity and physical tonicity, while the mind better counteracts states of anxiety and stress.

Pilates is suitable for both those who simply need movement and those who have particular pathologies. In these basic lessons, suitable for everyone, the goal is to learn to know and listen to your body, with the use of breathing and simple exercises.

Organized by the Pro Loco Massa Lubrense, with the patronage and contribution of the Municipality of Massa Lubrense – Tourism Department. It is part of the “Omaggio alla bellezza” program.
