Amatruda’s Amalfi paper is the only original Amalfi paper.<\/p>\n
The Amatruda paper mill is the only and last paper mill still in operation here in Amalfi.<\/p>\n
It is located at the end of the only main road in Amalfi. In the Valle dei Mulini in a wonderful position over the Canneto river. It cannot be visited by tourists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This paper mill produced paper already during the dominion of the Angevins in the “Kingdom of the two Sicilies” (1282-1442). The proof is its oldest watermark with the inscription “Amatrulo” at the bottom of the symbol, which includes three Angevin lilies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There have been several problems in the past that favored the closure of this last paper mill as well.<\/p>\n
Like the transport in fact, for the location, Amalfi is very isolated from the land trade channels. Or the impossibility of being competitive on the market due to a production limited to wrapping paper and bridle paper.<\/p>\n
However, to resist, they began again to produce fine sheets, in cotton and also in cellulose, with all the edges authentically untouched.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today, despite everything, we must be grateful that we still have this mill in operation.<\/p>\n
