Campli - A book on the ancient job of the "santarellaro" / Un libro dedicato all'antico mestiere del "santarellaro"
A recent book by Nicolino Farina, «Santari e Santarellari» traces the history, through images and photos, of a job now almost lost, based on the sale of sacred images. The "santarellaro" from Campli was the link between the engravers' art and the religious traditions. The job rose in the latter half of the 19th century, and the families most involved in the trade were Caravelli, Lucci, Salvatori and Cugnini.
