Located in the resort town of Fango in Lacco Ameno (ancient rural village and in the past important site for the development of the spa island), and this being an area of natural and man-made collection of mud (used in thermal industry), the “via dei carri” put in communication the places of extraction of alum (Bianchetto and Montecito) with processing areas (Piazza del “La Pera” or “Caulare”).
