The Valley
of the Mills, "The name Valley of the Mills, derives from the existence of
a mill - functioning since the beginning of the '900's - used for grinding
wheat. Attached to the mill, rose a sawmill which furnished chaff to the
Sorrentine cabinet makers. Everything is completed by a public wash-house used
by the women. The creation of Tasso Square, since 1866, determined the
isolation of the mill area from the sea, provoking a sharp rise of the
percentage of humidity, which made the area unbearable and determined its
progressive abandon."
