The craft festival in Cava de' Tirreni

The initiative

In the splendid setting of Piazza Duomo, the organizers of the event, Tony Sorrentino and Imma Della Corte welcomed the many curious people who watched some of the artisans who are part of the team work and display their products, the result of skilled manual work and wisdom handed down by great tradition of Cavese and Salerno in the artisan field. The municipal administration is close to the Festival and has recognized since the first edition the great economic value of craftsmanship and the importance for the new generation of training, learning about tradition and updating themselves in order to be able to offer services and products on the market that represent the real fruit of Made in Italy. In the square many masterly works on display: representations of historical works with period tools of rope work, one of the productions that made Cava famous, according to the tradition of the Santa Lucia hamlet, but also modern artefacts made following the art of recycling . Closing the event was the fashion show with six models and four models, with wedding and ceremonial dresses, and the message of Giosuè, the model who concluded the fashion show, who made it clear how craftsmanship has a social value when it dresses and makes make everyone feel special, even those with disabilities. “The artisans in the square showed all their skill and gave the message of a work opportunity to the children of Cava de' Tirreni to be able to undertake an activity in the field of craftsmanship in times of crisis” commented the new councilor to Adolfo Salsano production activities. Tired but happy, the organizers recalled that the event was a moment to break down the distance and open shops on the street, but it is only the first step, as the artisans will open their shops in October and will wait for the curious, but also for those who want to learn and understand some secrets of the trade. “Training, information and valorisation of the craftsmanship of Cavese and Salerno remain our objectives - explained the organizers - our idea is to be increasingly closer to the new generation and offer opportunities to grow and succeed in becoming a center for providing training courses to be able to spend in the world of work, to understand all the opportunities of artisan work, a true sector that can counter the economic crisis and offer great satisfaction to the new generations who must know how to mix the ancient teachings, the primary source from which to start, and the new technologies". A competition for newlyweds will soon be launched with a final draw in December, during the closing gala of the event.
