A lot of important Italian shipping companies, today competing all over the world, come from the maritime tradition of the Gulf of Naples and its surrounding areas.

Their success is not due to pure chance. It is the result of professional qualifications and schools founded long ago.

Communities deeply tied to the sea, schools and family traditions have guaranteed a great adaptability to technological innovations and freight market changes.
 

The maritime activity in the Sorrento Peninsula, whose story this book deals with, has been the most advanced and dynamic area in this productive sector for a long time. It is still so for the region and the whole country.
