Way of the Chartreuse in Campania: free events in the wonderful historical complexes

Certosa di San Lorenzo in Padula on the Way of the Certose

The Certosa di San Martino, Padula and San Giacomo in Capri are the protagonists of the Certose Way in Campania with exhibitions and free concerts!

Regional and national tourism and cultural institutions launch the Way of the Chartreusewhich provides several events in July and September 2017 in Campania. There will also be some exhibitions that, however, will last until 21 October. The initiative aims to promote the monumental complexes among the public with performances and exhibitions by great artists.

The protagonists of the event will be three symbolic places of the region: la Certosa di San Martino in Naples, the Certosa di San Lorenzo in Padula and the Certosa di San Giacomo in Capri. The marvelous spaces, priceless historical and cultural heritage, will host exhibitions, concerts and readings.

To unite the different works on display are current and important themes: the link with the territory, the religious conflict, meditation, nature and many others.
