Easter traditions in Massa Lubrense

Category:Blog,Festivals,Food,Travel,Travel Tags : 

written by Eleonora Aiello

Among the various religious traditions rooted in the culture of Massa Lubrense, there are certainly some very peculiar ones that make it unique. And it is precisely the case of the traditions of the Easter period. In this article, we will analyze the habits and rituals that most represent this area during Holy Week.

Lent

Lent (in Italian “Quaresima”) represents for Catholics a period of penance and fasting in preparation for Easter. This phase of abstinence, in the Roman rite, runs from Ash Wednesday until sunset on Holy Thursday.

Quarantana bambola di Quaresima
“Quarantana”, the doll of Lent

In the Sorrento peninsula there is an ancient custom of preparing “la vecchia” (= “the old woman”), a small doll in black clothes that, in the popular imagination, personifies “Quarantana”, a thin and skimpy old woman. Dressed in a long skirt, black handkerchief on the head, distaff, and spindle in hand, the doll is hung outside the houses. Under her skirt, she has an onion, or a potato, skewered with seven chicken feathers that act as a ritual calendar: one feather is removed every Sunday, while the last one is removed at noon on Holy Saturday.

The palm Sunday

As a first appointment, we must mention that of Palm Sunday, the day in which we remember the triumphal entry into Jerusalem of Jesus, riding a donkey and acclaimed by the crowd who greeted him As a first appointment we must mention that of Palm Sunday, the day in which we remember the triumphal entry into Jerusalem of Jesus, riding a donkey and acclaimed by the crowd who greeted him waving palm branches.

In the territory of Massa Lubrense, the palms are often replaced by olive branches, blessed in a ceremony that takes place in the church, which each faithful will decorate and embellish. Traditionally, these olive branches are adorned with the addition of small caciocavalli, locally produced cheeses, small salamis, and colored sugared almonds.

Palm branches with intertwined leaves are also used. The weaving work must be done a few days before the blessing because the palm leaves dry quickly, thin, and spoil easily. Before proceeding with the weaving, each leaf must be clean or freed from the woody part that covers it, and the leaves that are too pungent must be removed.

The foot-washing ceremony

But the religious rites that most distinguish this area are, without any doubt, those of Holy Thursday and Good Friday. The first recalls the institution of the Eucharist during the Last Supper where Jesus washed the feet of the Twelve Apostles. To commemorate this event, the ceremony of the foot-washing is celebrated during the Mass in Coena Domini, where the priest washes the feet of twelve people representing the twelve apostles. Furthermore, from Thursday evening the church bells will remain “tied”, that is, mute.

The processions

During Holy Week, processions of hooded people walk the streets of the town symbolically representing the passion and death of Jesus. They are distinguished from each other by the color of the garments, the times of exit and the choirs that accompany them. Two processions are held in Massa Lubrense: one starts from Torca, the other from Massa center.

All the itineraries of the processions can be found on the website processioni.com. In addition to Massa Lubrense, the processions also take place in the municipalities of Sorrento, Sant’Agnello, Piano, and Meta.

Easter and Easter Monday

Easter Sunday is announced by the sacred and solemn ringing of the bells which, finally, can be dissolved to ring in “glory”.

The following Easter Monday is called “Pasquetta”: on this day, even if there is often bad weather, families and friends use to have a nice outing with a picnic in nature.

Pedals and panoramas: walking in Massa Lubrense by bike

Category:Blog,Outdoors,Places,Travel Tags : 
Cycling gives us the opportunity to explore the surrounding world in a more intimate way. Thanks to it we can immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature and grasp details often neglected. In addition, cycling allows us to explore nature more carefully and calmly, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscapes without damaging them.

In this regard, in Massa Lubrense you can take part in guided bike tours. We had the opportunity to interview Fabio, founder and cycling guide of Enjoy Bike Sorrento, who shared with us interesting information about it.

bike

Welcome Fabio! Tell us about Enjoy Bike, when was it born and why?

We were born in 2018. Initially it was a competitive sports association of cycling. Over time I added this type of activity to make sure that even people who do not practice cycling at a competitive level can have fun by bike, with shorter and less tiring experiences. 

What types of services do you offer?

We mostly offer guided tours in Massa Lubrense, in Costiera Amalfitana and on Vesuvio. Our itineraries can last hours or cover the whole day. We offer both tours with pedal assist bike and tour with racing bikes, for the most trained people.

Why choose a bike? What advantages or benefits does it offer? 

The bike can offer you a special experience for the discovery of the territory: you can stop in places where with the bus or the car you could not. In addition, it is a not intense sports activity that is good for both body and mind. 

Why people should make a bike tour in Massa Lubrense? What makes it unique?

In Massa Lubrense we organize 70% of our tours because compared to other areas it is a less touristy place and therefore offers a more peaceful experience. It is a very fascinating area that most tourists do not expect to visit, but that leaves everyone surprised.

What makes your tours special? 

What makes them special is the territory in which they are held. We also try to make them memorable through the discovery of places not very touristy and local realities that are usually little visited and known. For example, there is a tour called At the Al Vivaio in E-Bike that allows you to visit a citrus grove where the Sorrento Lemon is grown. This is a special experience in which our customers, in addition to the bike experience, have the opportunity to discover the whole history of the lemon typical of the area, from when it is planted until when a lemon tree is born. In addition, we combine some of our tours with other experiences, such as tastings or cooking classes.

Can everyone participate or are specific requirements required?

All people can participate, the only requirement is to be healthy. Being for the most part tours with the pedal assistance, we happen to bring into the excursion also people no longer young, but who are still skilled in pedaling. On request, we also organize tours for families with children, provided they already have a minimum of cycling experience.

Is it possible to customize the tours?

Yes, we also do private tours and specific itineraries according to customer needs. For example, one factor that is taken into account is where customers are accommodated. 

What advice would you give to those who wish to have this experience?

Often, when people consider the experience of cycling, they become discouraged by thinking about the busy areas. We recommend the activity because we are committed to exploring quiet areas of our territory. In addition, we carefully select the moments for our tours, ensuring maximum safety to our customers.

In the silence of the sea: the discovery of diving

Category:Blog,Outdoors,Travel Tags : 

Diving is an extraordinary experience of intimate symbiosis with the sea. Holding your breath here becomes a skill that allows you to open the doors to a kingdom of silent beauty.

In Massa Lubrense there is a free diving center where you can find support and guidance to explore the art of diving. You can abandon yourself to the sea, immersing yourself in a world of calm, serenity, but also adventure. We had the opportunity to interview Antonio Mironi, founder of the Capri Freediving center and certified instructor by the Association Sport Apnea Academy, who shared with us interesting information about it.

diving

Hello Antonio! When was Capri Freediving founded and why?

Capri Freediving is a free diving center that was founded in 2023 in Massa Lubrense. It was born from a project that has always been in my head since childhood. I come from a history far from the sea, I am originally from Capri but I grew up in Milan; despite this, I have always been passionate about the sea, even though from afar. My dream was to come back one day and get closer to the discipline of freediving, which I have always practiced as a child. After graduating in economics I dedicated myself to training and preparing to become a free diving instructor. My goal was to open a center where people could share and teach apnea, mainly at sea since we have wonderful places. The center was born from the realization of a dream that I have always had.

What types of services do you offer?

We mainly offer courses. Being an apnea center we offer mini courses that can last both a day and a week, within which there are several methodologies. Following the attendance of these courses, patents may also be issued. The title that qualifies me as an instructor is a title issued by Apnea Academy, the largest school of apnea in the world founded by Umberto Pelizzari, historical world champion of apnea and holder of several records. There are also facilities for tourists such as recreational apnea excursions and snorkeling, more oriented to the tourist industry. Finally, we also have a whole logistics aimed at people who have already attended the courses and who have experience of apnea and who want to do training at sea.

What kind of discipline is apnea?

Apnea is a discipline that is growing more and more because it is open to all. Very often people are afraid to hold their breath, which is actually part of our genetic code, we just have to go back and do it. There are steps to follow to teach anyone to enjoy these sensations. I would define it as a discipline aimed at the well-being and relaxation of the person.

How do you train and prepare for apnea?

First of all, exercises are necessary from the point of view of breathing: to learn not to breathe you must first learn to breathe. There are exercises that come from the ancient art of pranayama, a strand of yoga that concerns breathing. Apnea borrows these exercises to train the ability to inhale and expire, to train the extension of the diaphragm and rib cage. Then there are the workouts in water that can be divided into workouts done in the pool (known as dynamic apnea) that train the lack of oxygen and that train the increase in carbon dioxide. Then there are the workouts done deeply in the water that are called workouts in constant trim and in this case we train the depth, the pressure, the compensation and a whole series of variations that are included in the deep going. 

Are specific requirements necessary?

It is a sport open to all. The only requirement is to know how to swim and be comfortable in the water. This year in our center came a lady of 52 years that had never done apnea in his life and fell to 18 meters underwater.

diving

What are the benefits of free diving?

Definitely apnea helps relaxation, it is a wellness sport. What happens on a physiological level, especially at sea, is a lowering of the heartbeat due to contact with water and going slightly deeper. This lowering of the heartbeat generates a whole series of benefits such as the muscle, nervous and mental relaxation; the moment you leave a session of apnea you have the feeling of having slept, as when you wake up in the morning well relaxed. Among the other benefits we find being in the water, so you release all the gravity, all that weight you have on you: being in the water, with activities projected to relaxation, helps the physique to give up all the tensions.

On the site there is a section called “emotions in apnea“, in this regard, what emotions can you feel with this experience?

Emotions in apnea mainly concerns the recreational services that you do in Capri Freediving, so snorkeling and recreational apnea. The emotion is to stay relaxing in a marine environment, a protected environment like Parco Marino Punta Campanella, that includes Baia di Ieranto, Fiordo di Crapolla or the islets Li Galli. The emotion is to enjoy the seabed and the fauna, the transparency of the water, thanks to the presence of an expert guide, who can assist you and that guarantees safety to people who dive. Without a guide all this would not be feasible, especially in our areas where, especially in summer, there is a good presence of boats.

What makes Massa Lubrense unique as a place to practice apnea?

The Marine Park, the A.M.P. Punta Campanella. Generally in the tourist areas it is common to find many boats and practice apnea safely also means having the help of an organization that deals with regulating the transit of boats. In addition to this, it provides support in the organization of events. For example, this year we will organize an internship with Pelizzari and thanks to the collaboration of A.M.P. Punta Campanella we will have a well-defined logistics that will help to ensure safety. We are particularly cautious in this regard. The alliance with the Marine Park is a fundamental element, without which all this would not be possible.

Why should a person approach this world? And what advice would you give?

Today, we are immersed in a context in which we are constantly exposed to many stressful factors, including work-related pressures and family commitments. We are often bombarded with incessant notifications from our phone devices and computers. Apnea helps to mentally disconnect from these continuous inputs. The brain works faster, and we’re not wired to work that fast. Apnea slows everything down and helps us think more calmly. People should approach apnea because it brings us back to our basic functions, the simple ones that belong to us, like being well and being quiet. Apnea helps to slow down and feel good. The advice, therefore, is to try to believe. In fact, almost always people perceive the benefit.

Social networks in the tourism sector

Category:Blog,Featured,Travel Tags : 

One of the areas on which social networks have had the greatest impact is tourism. While some time ago the choice of a travel destination was influenced by friends, relatives or photos of catalogs proposed by travel agencies, today this choice is dictated by what you see or read on social media.

In a short span of time, the web has undergone a huge evolution and with it also its ways of use by users. This evolution has led to the appearance of those who take the name of “social networks”. These are online platforms that people access, creating a “community” where they can exchange messages and share photos and videos.

How have social networks changed people’s lives?

In recent years, social networks have become increasingly important in people’s lives. Most users use social media as a means of information, to read news conveniently and quickly from their pc or smartphone. The importance of social networks is also in their ability to influence the tastes and choices of their users through the sharing and exchange of information. Social media, such as Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok are therefore seen as a place to research opinions and to draw inspiration from.

How do social media influence the choice of a trip?

Social users have the opportunity to share with other users the most beautiful moments and places of a trip and, at the same time, many people through social discover new destinations to reach. Travelers and tourists from all over the world are able, via social media, to save, share and recommend the places they most prefer, helping others to plan their vacation. This phenomenon, which is based on the sharing of photos, videos and stories of travel experiences, is called “social tourism“.

The transformation of users

Users have become more independent and able to create and share content, exchange reviews and information. They organize their trip directly online, without having to go to physical agencies, based on reviews of other travelers. This is why most of the accommodation facilities, tour operators and airlines have had to adapt to the new Digital Age. They became part of the virtual world through the promotion of their business and the creation of sales channels on social media. In fact, they have arisen the so-called OTA (online travel agencies); among the most famous there are Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and Trivago, which, in exchange for a percentage, act as an intermediary between the providers of tourist services and customers. 

New opportunities for tourism promotion

It is now established that the booking of holidays takes place above all online. Social networks therefore give the opportunity to expand tourism promotion and they are able to revolutionize the decisions of tourists. For this, the use of social media has become essential for all tourism operators – from travel agencies to restaurants, from accommodation facilities to tourist guides – in order to promote destinations and attract customers, increase visibility and engage audiences effectively.

Among sirens and sunsets: in the heart of Termini

Category:Blog,Places,Pro Loco,Travel Tags : 

The village of Termini, with a fascinating past, goes from being a Greek colony to a tourist destination.

Today it is one of the most popular destinations for travelers looking for a relaxing holiday, among enchanting places that can be explored especially via hiking itineraries.

Termini constitutes the western end of the Sorrento peninsula, a thin strip of mountainous land that juts westward into the sea. This place is steeped in myths and legends linked to the sea and the mountains, with cultivated terraces, citrus groves and olive groves overlooking the splendid blue. The wild cliffs fall into the sea animated by the currents that intertwine at Punta Campanella, right in front of the island of Capri.

The Church of Santa Croce

An example of a place of worship in Termini is the Church of Santa Croce. It that dates back to ancient times, testifying to the religious history of the area. This church, dedicated to the Holy Cross, stands soberly in the village square and represents an important spiritual point of reference for the local community.

Monte San Costanzo in Termini

Just before the limestone peninsula plunges into the blue waters, stands Monte San Costanzo, the highest peak in Massa Lubrense. The hill rises approximately 500 meters above sea level and boasts absolutely breathtaking landscapes on each side: on the Bay of Ieranto, on the cove of Mitigliano, on the gulf of Naples and that of Salerno, and on the island of Capri.

The path that leads to Monte San Costanzo starts right in the heart of Termini, in Piazza Santa Croce. It is also part of the longer Athena Trail.

On the highest point of the promontory stands the Chapel of San Costanzo. It is a small church dating back to the second half of the 16th century which gives to the surrounding area an almost mystical atmosphere. For most of the time the church is closed to the public, but every year on May 14 hundreds of faithful gather for the procession towards Monte San Costanzo, where the Holy Mass is celebrated in honor of the Saint.

Punta Campanella

Punta Campanella is the end of the peninsula, facing Capri and dividing the Gulf of Naples from that of Salerno. It can be reached on foot via a path of about three kilometers that starts from the Termini square. Along the way it is possible to see elements that tell stories of past eras, such as the remains of a Roman villa and two of the defensive watchtowers that stand along the Lubrense coast.

Social media marketing for tourism operators

Category:Blog,Featured,Travel Tags : 

In the digital age in which we live, the tourism sector has to face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In this context, social media marketing emerges as a crucial element for the success of tourism operators.

The development of this form of marketing has been rapid and explosive. Companies, large and small, local or multinational, have moved much of their promotional activity from traditional channels – such as print media, radio advertising and television – to modern channels.

In fact, social media are widely used because they are easy to use. They are one of the best channels to promote tourist business and to attract new customers. It is thanks to social media that tour operators are able to reach more users and build deep connections with them. This is a prerequisite for establishing a relationship of trust.

Digital tools are part of the strategies of tourism web marketing. The aim is to promote the online presence of all the activities involved in the organization and management of services for tourists: accommodation, restaurants, tourist guides, transport companies, rental companies, travel agencies, agencies and tourist companies.

The steps to take

First of all, it is important to create an effective marketing strategy. Without a well-defined strategy, tour operators will not know how to best use social media to achieve their business goals.

An effective social media marketing strategy must include setting goals and choosing the most suitable social channels.

In addition, it is important to consider competition and market trends, in order to stand out and attract the attention of potential customers.

Another key element is to understand the target audience where age, income, geographical location, personal interests and type of travel are included. By being aware of the composition of your clientele, its needs and desires and how it acts in making travel decisions you can build a successful marketing program.

Once these elements have been analysed, you can start to define your communication strategy and the tools that you have to use in order to reach potential travelers in your services.

Social media marketing

The tools of Web Marketing Tourism

In a tourism web marketing strategy you can use different tools in order to reach and to be found with ease by customers.

Among these tools we have the development of:

  • a website that clearly describes the image of its brand, the services offered and the advantages;
  • a company blog in which you can create content that intercepts the searches of users on the network and attract traffic to the site;
  • advertising campaigns aimed to attract even more public attention;
  • email marketing such as newsletters and similar, through which you can provide useful news and information about new services or seasonal events and promotions;
  • videos posted on different social channels that are a very powerful marketing tool and one of the most effective ways to show the tourists the experience they will live.

Moreover, recently, within web marketing a series of trends have arisen, such as:

  • the use of personalized content. This may include the creation of tailor-made travel services and an offer based on previous searches or bookings;
  • the use of influencer marketing to promote tourist destinations.  Influencers can help reach a wider audience and even increase bookings.

Social media marketing

Social media marketing is one of the best digital marketing strategies for the tourism industry. It is, however, necessary to effectively manage your social media accounts. This means regularly posting engaging and relevant content, interacting with followers, and tracking their social activity. It is also important to respond to user comments and reviews, showing attention and interest in their needs.

Social media marketing

The benefits of proper social media management for tourism

Through social media, communication is faster, the audience of potential customers is wider and costs are reduced. Tour operators who properly manage social media can have many benefits for their business.

First of all, social media can increase the online visibility of tourism activities by making themselves known to a wide and differentiated audience. In addition, they help you to improve the reputation of the company and to earn the trust of existing customers. Finally, they allow you to promote offers in a targeted manner and to continuously monitor and improve marketing strategies.
