Giorgio Amarelli' LIQUID MUSEUM

A story within a story, a saga, that of the Amarelli family, which began around the year one thousand and continued over the centuries amidst crusades, intellectual commitment and agriculture.

A history to touch, to read, to listen to, to experience in the Liquorice Museum. Engravings, documents, books, period photos, but also agricultural tools, everyday objects and splendid old clothes bear witness to the life of a family, which exploited the underground branches of liquorice plants that grow wild on the Ionian coast, and which became the stage for a unique museum.

The large space of the 'Concio', dating back to 1731, perfectly portrays the passage of time between past and present. Accompanied by the museum assistants, one discovers the secrets of liquorice processing, the sheaves of root ready to be processed, the modern extraction equipment, the ancient cookers where the black liquorice paste is thickened and the bronze dies that give it its shape and thickness, in a visit to the production process perpetually immersed in the sweet scent of liquorice and which, like the museum, fascinates everyone, adults and children alike.

The smokestack, bearing the initials of Baron Nicola Amarelli, rises from the roof of the ashlar at the base of which is the 'Open Air Museum' with a unique display of vintage industrial pieces.

An unprecedented adventure that transports one into the reality of a flourishing past and tells of the present of an excellent product to be enjoyed, at the end of the tour, in the Shop and Museum Café. Finally, the Auditorium, a large space with over one hundred seats that has always been an integral part of the late 18th-century complex, is now a welcoming environment, the beating heart of the Museum's cultural life and events.

Le visite sono sempre guidate, ed oltre che in italiano, sono svolte nelle lingue più diffuse francese, inglese e tedesco e su richiesta russo, spagnolo e portoghese. Un esperienza indimenticabile vi aspetta al Museo della liquirizia Giorgio Amarelli.
