There
is a new map of Massa Lubrense covering Massa centre, Santa Maria, Annunziata, Marina della Lobra and San
Francesco. It can be downloaded from the following link:
Further to Giovanni Visetti's previous post regarding the App PDF-maps,
the Path of the Gods is now also available for download. PDF-maps now have 5 of
Giovanni’s maps: Capri, Path of the Gods, Massa and surroundings, Punta
Campanella/San Costanzo and Sorrento.
Via
Li Schisani - apparently the Sorrento Town Council has at last decided to repair via
Li Schisani. This path, although no longer much used by the locals, is of
significant importance to hikers wanting to go from Sant’Agata to Sorrento
or viceversa, being a convenient alternative to the very steep Circumpiso. Their first attempt at repair
collapsed just a few weeks later and roughly ten years have passed meantime. Giovanni
himself had suggested on more than one occasion that a temporary, simple and
economic solution could have been to use chestnut-wood poles similar to those of the pergolas
in our lemon groves to create a wooden catwalk over the affected area.
Evidently this was too simple and economical, although the official reason was
that it wouldn’t have met the safety regulations or been approved by the
relative authorities.
Via
Fontanella – according to the local press, work is about to
commence on Via Fontanella following the landslide over a year ago. It should
take roughly a month to complete. At the moment, walkers wishing to follow the
red itinerary between Massa Lubrense and Sorrento (Pantano, Fontanella, Vigliano) have to deviate up to the
church of Li Simoni.
